Top 6 ORMs for Modern Node.js App Development
Bookshelf.js is an uncomplicated and lightweight ORM designed for Node.js, constructed atop the Knex.js query builder. Its primary aim is to support SQL databases, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. Bookshelf.js focuses on simplicity and user-friendliness, offering a direct method for defining models and relationships through JavaScript classes and prototypal inheritance.

Is there a 'batteries included' backend framework like Django, but written in JS?
If you're set on JS (using only one language on a team/project can be very nice) common choices for backend often involve using Express or hapi with some ORM (like Prisma or Bookshelf).

Using Database Transactions to Write Queries in Strapi
Strapi uses Bookshelf.js library to send database queries in an ORM fashion. Bookshelf itself is powered by Knex.js, which is a SQL query builder. Knex.js supports popular SQL-based database engines like PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB, which are also supported by Strapi. Knex.js also supports database transactions, which then makes Bookshelf also provides support for it. With a basic understanding of both libraries, we can add Database transaction support to Strapi queries.

Recovering XAMPP developer looking to make a Node CRUD app. What Node database tools are easy to learn?
I made the transition from LAMP to Node-based stacks 6 or 7 years ago and started out using BookshelfJS. Node is a different world though, one that lends itself to distributed services and server-less infrastructure, and it's changed how I interact with DBs.

How to get randomly sorted recordsets in Strapi
First, we need to get all recordsets randomly sorted. To achieve this, we will need to build a query. Strapi is using Bookshelf as an ORM. So we can start by getting our Partnership model, so we can run a query on it. Inside the query, we get a knex (this is the query builder that Bookshelf uses under the hood) query builder instance. On this query builder instance, we can there ask to order recordsets randomly. Let's try this:

Autogenerate GraphQL API documentation with SpectaQL
A few of the most important characteristics of the solution we wanted was that any documentation-related work had to be easy for developers, and it would ideally be located in proximity to the actual implementing code. Anvil's web application is written in Node, and we chose Apollo as our GraphQL framework and use a modified version of Bookshelf as our ORM.

What do you think about ORMs?
FYI Currently I use Knex with Bookshelf. Bookshelf is an ORM written by Knex author before TypeORM, Objection... existed. It's not maintained anymore but it works fine and is much better than Sequelize when I've tried.

Rust GraphQL APIs for NodeJS Developers: Introduction
In my usual NodeJS tech stack, which includes GraphQL, NestJS, SQL (predominantly PostgreSQL with MikroORM), I encountered these limitations. To overcome them, I've developed a new stack utilizing Rust, which still offers some ease of development:

We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma
I found MikroORM [0] to be quite reasonable if you're in the TS ecosystem already. It was also easy to do custom, raw queries, and really just felt like it wasn't in the way.

The Epic Stack by Kent C. Dodds
It also does code generation into its own module, so good luck with hoisting in a monorepo where you want multiple independent prisma schemas. MikroORM[1] is a much better alternative to Prisma in my opinion but any ORM carries some form of baggage.
