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.

Well, shit. Objection.js has been sunset, which ORM/querybuilder did you move to?
So I'm not going to count on people ever picking it up, just straight up. I mean like I look at things like this: https://github.com/mikro-orm/mikro-orm/blob/master/packages/core/src/unit-of-work/UnitOfWork.ts and I wonder how tf is anyone other than the original author going to be able to pick it up and understand what is going on in the codebase well enough to start maintaining it themselves.

Best ORM library?
I don't think there's a best per say, but we did recently use Objection on our project. Did the job well, only issue is there's no constructor for the DB Models but it's just something you work around (https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/)

Simple postgres 'ORM' for node project?
If you aren't using TypeScript I'd very much recommend Objection.js, I've used it multiple times and no complaints so far. You can pass raw SQL queries to it as well so I'm sure it would be a good fit for your project!

Exploring the repository pattern with TypeScript and Node
Next, let’s set up the database for our newly created Nest application. I’ll be using PostgreSQL, but you can use any of the databases Knex supports. To interact with our database, we’ll be using Objection.js, which is an ORM for Node.js built on top Knex. For this tutorial, we’ll be using Nest Objection, a Nest module for Objection.

Why Sveltekit
After getting familiar with svelte, I started my project on Sapper, the predecessor of Sveltekit. Sapper was an easier take for me compared to the alternatives, and I enjoyed exploring js-land using a "non-express" node based framework. I also ventured into tailwind for the front-end UI, and Objection JS (a superset of Knex) for backend database access. I was in nirvana!
