Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- What practices do you recommend for a startup using Next.js, fullstack with tRPC vs seperate backend with express?
-
Postgres over WebSocket
That I understand.
But of course for the user of the driver it might be fine if that is 2 or more HTTP requests. I expect that is how PlanetScale does it in their transaction implementation, https://github.com/planetscale/database-js#transactions, and I know that is how Prisma Data Proxy handles it - the transaction is identified with an ID which is returned to the Client and then included in further requests for the same transaction.
It's valid tradeoff to make to prefer a persistent connection to keep the overhead for multiple queries in a transaction as low as possible - which seems what Neon has done here.

Typesafe Database Queries on the Edge
The PlanetScale team recently released their database driver which lets your query your PlanetScale database using the Fetch API. This means you can use this library to query your database in edge environments which is HUGE.

Did you check https://github.com/koskimas/kysely ? It was great when I used it. It has great TS support.

Type-safe S3 Select queries with Kysely
That’s where Kysely comes to the rescue: Kysely is a type-safe and devX-friendly typescript SQL query builder. It was designed to work with PostgreSQL and MySQL, but it exposes a few classes that can let us write queries without being connected to an actual relational database.
- Vue and trpc?

Announcing a new TypeScript ORM
prisma (mentioned in the article), zapatos, pgtyped and kysely are the most popular currently I think.
switch between a limited interface and a query builder (MikroORM, TypeORM). This feels like using two different libraries, switching between two different sets of limitations. Kysely is a nice query builder with good TS support, but MikroORM is using Knex instead so you're losing TS, and TypeORM has a custom query builder, less user-friendly than Knex.
-
Which ORM do you prefer with nodejs/Typescript project and why ?
I'd love to see Kysely as an option.
-
You might not need an ORM
Kysely[1] and zapatos[2] are excellent solutions for type-safe typescript query builders. It’s hard to go back to the days of spending 20-30% of your time in the object mapping layer.

Simple CQRS in NodeJS with Typescript
Querying the database (PostgreSQL) should not be ground breaking. Personally I like to have full type-safety so we can easily catch bugs during the development time without introducing any tests that are just testing the data type from our datastore to match the data type our API expects. I like to go database schema first, which means that we generate types from the database schema and work with those. Any change to the schema of the database is made with SQL migrations and after that, the typescript types are regenerated. Another approach is to use a code-first tool like TypeORM or Prisma. However in my experience such tools often produce not efficient SQL queries and are less easy to extend. In my projects I use library kysely (https://github.com/koskimas/kysely) with kysely-codegen (https://github.com/RobinBlomberg/kysely-codegen) to have a full type-safe SQL builder.
