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)

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)
Sequelize
-
Full Stack Web Development Concept map
Sequelize - modern Typescript and NodeJS ORM for Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server+docs
-
NodeJS Security Best Practices
If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.

How to Build & Deploy Scalable Microservices with NodeJS, TypeScript and Docker || A Comprehesive Guide
Our orders microservice will have its own set of teachnologies just like we earlier plotted that is mysql database and sequelize orm. MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is widely used for building web applications and managing data. It is a popular choice for many developers and organizations due to its performance, reliability, and ease of use. Sequelize is a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js. It provides a way to interact with relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MSSQL using JavaScript or TypeScript. It simplifies database operations by allowing developers to use JavaScript objects to represent database tables and records, instead of writing raw SQL queries. In this microservice, we will use it to query our MySQL database.

What Are ORMs & Should You Use Them
However, some ORM operations can’t be translated into a single SQL query that easily. Let’s take Sequelize's findOrInsert. It first sends a SELECT query like this:

Top 6 ORMs for Modern Node.js App Development
Sequelize is an extensively employed ORM for Node.js. It supports relational databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MSSQL. Sequelize boasts a comprehensive array of features for database modeling and querying. It caters to various coding styles by accommodating both Promise and Callback-based APIs. Moreover, it encompasses advanced functionalities such as transactions, migrations, and associations, making it well-suited for intricate database operations.

Contributing to Tech Communities: How Open-Source can land you a job and get you out of the Skill Paradox 💼
I made a small change to the new documentation for Sequelize! I was just scrolling through the documentation and found this mistake that could lead others to weird debugging sessions, so as soon as I found it, I submitted a PR for them! You can check out the contribution here!

ERDIA: TypeORM entity specification documentation tool
The image above is a chart comparing three popular ORM tools from the npmtrends.com. ERDIA only supports TypeORM for now, but the roadmap is to support Sequelize and Prisma as well.

How to connect Next 13.4 application with PostreSQL using Sequelize (or TypeORM)
I tried every solution in this guide https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/6907 and many others, but I feel that Next 13 is the latest and it is not supporting other ORMs than Prisma. And I am not comfortable working with Prisma due to the absence of migrations, CLI and so much more.

Is this a valid reason to give up node?
I mean I am not really a pro be dev. But there is such tools as https://sequelize.org/ and it can work with different DBs, if your current DB doesn't support this you can always switch to that one which do. Switching to another language doesn't really do much.
