Planning projects ? Looking for help
Personally with more time I would also use JavaScript so I can improve it. Last time I wrote something with Express and a database connection is a long time ago and not for work, only for my personal testing. But for JavaScript database connection to PostgreSQL I recommend pg-promise. That works like a charm.

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

Help seeding a database with PG
Yes. You can also take at the pg-promise library. https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise

What package do you guys use for postgres in node js?
Is there any difference to the named parameters already supported? https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise#named-parameters

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.

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

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?

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).
