Ask HN: Why are so many PHP projects moving to Node?
I've always loved this project / product:
https://github.com/outline/outline
I think the guy who built it posts here. There's also pg-promise, a "Postgres interface for Node.js":

Which ORM do you prefer with nodejs/Typescript project and why ?
Raw pgPromise with string templating.

Is my health check endpoint good enough?
i do have a couple of them like websocket server using ws, bullmq for sending emails and postgres listen/notify to push data to websocket clients. Would you happen to have any ideas on how to go about these? I did some research
I use redis, sequelize and PG Listen/Notify via Robust Listeners with a websocket server coded in ws

DenoDB
During my years as a dev i have really started to dislike ORMs. They always fail in the end. SQL is universal, and transfers between languages and tech fields. This is why im pro-sql, and always try to avoid unnecessary abstractions.
I have actually went back to writing pure SQL in files, and using those as params for whatever db engine i use, this makes it even possible to reuse the code in other projects (even its unlikely that you can use the exact same query, but just as a "it would work" in theory).
For node based projects i have used and would probably still choose pg-promise (https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise).

How to use PostgreSQL with Node?
Since I'm decent at writing SQL queries and I don't want to learn additional syntax to work with ORMs/query builders, I stay as close as possible to the database driver. pg-promise is an excellent library built on top of the Node.js driver for PostgreSQL. It's built with promises in mind, it's well-tested and typed.

Building a SaaS in one week: How I built OnlineOrNot (Next.js/React, Tailwind, GraphQL, TypeScript)
I just used pg-promise - it handles the connections for you, up to you to write the SQL.

How to manage database connections?
You can use pg-promise or Prisma to deal with your db. They are both able to manage and pool connections.

Create a Blog web app using Adonis.js 6
AdonisJS core team has created/maintains Lucid. It is a SQL query builder, and an Active Record ORM built on top of Knex.

Type-safe Data Access in Go using Prisma and sqlc
Now, why not use an ORM? I've seen performance issues too many times with ORMs. I prefer writing my own SQL to avoid surprises. After all, I know the database schema and writing code for a specific purpose very often leads to better performance than generic code. ORMs have to support all kinds of database schemas. I only have to support mine. Having successfully used Knex.js in NodeJS (a popular query builder) in the past, I know writing SQL queries myself is not hard and provides very good performance.

Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
SQL is an old, irregular language to work with, but it is better known than HCL and SQL already has it's own Pulumi/CDK in the form of every ORM with introspection (like Javascript's Prisma, Python's Django, Go's XO etc) and QueryBuilder (LINQ, Knex, etc) in whatever programming language you prefer. You probably already know it.

Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
How does HN receive SQL builders in general? I feel like most of us agree ORMs are typically a bad idea. I feel like that almost instantly leaves the need for "something" to take its place. In my experience, it's typically been a query builder like this.
I've also tried:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-strings ("out of date" since like 2016? https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-tag might be better)
Are query builders an anti pattern? People who are doing serious/logic heavy stuff with SQL, how do you avoid a query builder (if at all?)

Promises, Thenables, & Lazy-evaluation: What, Why, How
Of course, this is a trivial example that you probably won’t find in production code, but there are many projects that use lazy-evaluated Promise-like objects. Probably the most common example is with database ORMs and query builders like Knex.js or Prisma.

MagLit - Free and Open Source Link Shortener with Privacy, Encryption, Password Protection and more!
why not just use a mariadb or postgres docker image? heck, even sqlite should be fine, given the simplicity of your needs. i work with nodejs myself, i'd highly recommend knexjs for this- it's super flexible!
What are some alternatives?
