Show HN: Tsynamo – Type-friendly DynamoDB query builder for TypeScript
Hello HN! I was recently introduced to Kysely (https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely), a type-safe Typescript SQL query builder, and instantly fell in love! I got inspired and wanted to make something similar for AWS DynamoDB.
Thus, I developed Tsynamo! Instead of calling it type-safe, I decided to go with type-friendly, because the library is still in an early stage, and is not 100% type-safe.
Under the hood, Tsynamo compiles the built queries into AWS SDK v3 commands. I feel that Tsynamo simplifies the AWS SDK API quite a lot since the developer doesn't have to mess around with condition/filter expressions or attribute names/values themselves, and as a bonus gets autocompletion for building the queries!
There's also a playground to test it out in your browser: https://try.tsynamo.dev. It might not have the most up-to-date API of the library in use yet, but you can get the library's main idea from there.
Since the project is still in its early stages, it doesn't yet have 100% support for all DynamoDB features, like querying indexes. The next steps will be increasing the support coverage and perhaps adding automatic type generation as inspired by kysely-codegen (https://github.com/RobinBlomberg/kysely-codegen).
Would love to get some feedback, thanks in advance!

Flyweight: A Node.js ORM Specifically for SQLite
How does this compare with my current favorite lite sqlite wrapper kysely? https://kysely.dev/
-
ORMs are nice but they are the wrong abstraction
ORMs suck, but raw SQL embedded in your code sucks too.
This might be good time to plug my TypeScript non-ORM: https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/.
I should say I also like what I've seen of https://kysely.dev/ and https://pgtyped.dev/.

NextJs and Kysely
As we can see using Kysely with Nextjs is very simple, and it allows us to create queries in a simple way, create tables, create migrations, transactions, etc.

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
I've switched to kysely (https://kysely.dev) to just build SQL instead and it's nice to have full SQL access but still be type safe to my schema. Enjoying it so far.
- An effective way to build a heavy CRUD Rest API?
- any typescript users, that'd be interested in using oracledb with kysely (the type-safe query builder)?

I Hate NestJS
Kysely looks like the thing most people would want. It's not a full ORM though - just a well-typed query builder.

Sneakiest development trap: making easy easier...
And sometimes invest instead in learning a technology rather than hide it: for example slonik encourages you to write normal SQL queries by making SQL templating easier and safer. In turn, your IDE would be able to understand those queries and give you support based on the database schemas you actually have.

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
I'd push you to consider using postgres, slonik or similar for database queries. With these libraries, you just write SQL, but they perform input sanitization for you. So you can safely write:
- Slonik: PostgreSQL client for Node.js with runtime validation
-
PostgresJs: The Fastest full featured PostgreSQL client for Node.js and Deno
You can already use postgres with Slonik.
https://github.com/gajus/slonik#user-content-slonik-how-are-...
It is not going to be the default because it is way slower.
https://github.com/gajus/slonik/actions/runs/6616647651
Test node_version:18 test_only:postgres-integration is taking 3 minutes.
Test node_version:18 test_only:pg-integration is taking 38 seconds.

Integrating Slonik with Express.js
For those uninitiated, Slonik is a battle-tested SQL query building and execution library for Node.js. Its primary goal is to allow you to write and compose SQL queries in a safe and convenient way. Now, let's see how it pairs with Express.js.
-
Which Postgres client are you using?
I am the maintainer of Slonik and I am trying to understand what portion of this sub-users are using Slonik vs other libraries, and if they are using anything else – what are their reasons for it.

JEP Draft: String Templates (Final)
It's nice that they implemented string templates essentially exactly the same way Javascript template literals and tag functions work. They even give an example of using it to create a prepared statement (e.g. DB."SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = \{inputParam}") which is exactly what many NodeJS libraries due, e.g. Slonik https://github.com/gajus/slonik, like sql`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = ${inputParam}`;

We use TypeScript not based on preference, but because we want to make money
I've found libraries like Zod useful when interacting with external data sources like a database. Slonik[1] uses Zod to define the types expected from a SQL query and then performs runtime validation on the data to ensure that the query is yielding the expected type.
I don't think it's necessary to use Zod/runtime validation everywhere, but it's a nice tool to have on hand.

The Epic Stack by Kent C. Dodds
Have you tried Slonik (https://github.com/gajus/slonik)? It won't generate types from queries automatically, but it encourages writing SQL vs. a query builder and allows type annotations of queries with Zod. Query results are validated at runtime to ensure the queries are typed correctly.
What are some alternatives?
drizzle-orm - Headless TypeScript ORM with a head. Runs on Node, Bun and Deno. Lives on the Edge and yes, it's a JavaScript ORM too 😅
Knex - A query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, CockroachDB, SQL Server, SQLite3 and Oracle, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use.
Prisma - Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB
TypeORM - ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.
Sequelize - Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.
