Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres

pg doesn't do too well with serverless, dead connections are left in the pool (or something)

So far every JS framework that uses https://node-postgres.com works great and so no reason to think Drizzle wouldn't.
We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma
11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Oct 2023

One thing that keeps coming up is that SQL equals low productivity. I don't think this is true. I think the culprit is that most developers are using to heavily abstracting SQL using ORMs like Prisma that hides the database and SQL logic.
Since building a SQL generator (https://aihelperbot.com) as a side project, I have become much more proficient in SQL and even though I am also locked into Prisma, I use the `queryRaw` all the time to execute raw SQL queries. You can understand the code without knowing Prisma API. It is more performant. For more complex SQL queries, I use the SQL generator for initial suggestions and adapt if needed.
For the next projects I build I want to use the minimal Postgres client (https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres) combined with a lightweight migration library.
Using AI I have departed from ORM and embraced SQL
2 projects | /r/SQL | 13 Sep 2023

For newer projects I use the small Postgres client. Initially my leap into SQL was lead by AI but as I refreshed and relearned SQL, I now use a mixture of AI and self-written SQL queries. Something like this is just easier to have AI do the grunt work and then adjustment as needed.
Credentials Leak with Knex

This was a known issue for pg developers, and they managed to fix it a long time ago (at the pg level), but the knowledge of this problem didn't reach Knex maintainers.
Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
6 projects | dev.to | 6 Apr 2023

Integrate the database into your application itself with a postgres client library allowing your applications to make infrastructure changes (like provisioning sharded resources for a client that wants isolation, or using a more accurate forecasting model to pre-allocate more resources before the storm hits).
