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.

Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres
pg doesn't do too well with serverless, dead connections are left in the pool (or something)
https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/issues/2112

NodeJS Security Best Practices
If you don't want to use ORM then there are some other packages as well! For PostgreSQL we have node-postgres

Building Secure Neon-Infused Web Apps with Auth0, Express, and EJS
Interface with PostgreSQL database

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
(Instead of the following with pg.)
-
Nile, Serverless Postgres for Modern SaaS
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
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
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
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).

What is your development stack for 2023?
node-postgres (raw sql, without ORM)

Aerospike Document API
Aerospike is a high performance, distributed, scalable, key value database. Aerospike leverages SSD technology to achieve levels of throughput and low latency exceeding even those obtained with in memory products. This allows hardware costs to be reduced 10x or more and data density to be increased 10x or more versus any other high performance solution.

Skyhook: a Redis-compatible interface to Aerospike Database
Aerospike is a highly available and scalable NoSQL distributed database used in production to provide blazingly fast performance at Petabyte scale. Production deployments of Aerospike are almost always serving their data from NVMe drives, though itโs possible to run namespaces in memory.
