Prisma VS Sequelize

Unfortunately Prisma hasn’t supported polymorphism yet. As such, you can't use inheritance to model the entity in the same way as in your programming language, as depicted in the above class diagram. The good news is that we could intimate it using table inheritance to imitate it.

Prisma is a modern TypeScript-first ORM that allows you to manage database schemas easily, make queries and mutations with great flexibility, and ensure excellent type safety.

Prisma

There have been multiple feature requests to add native support for AsyncLocalStorage to Prisma, but they haven't been met with much enthusiasm from the maintainers. Some people solved it by extending and overriding the client (which is arguably prone to breaking with updates).

Our products microservice is also straight forward just like how the auth has been. As previously plotted, we will be using different technologies on each service and we are using PostgreSQL as a database and prisma orm(Object Relational Mapper) for querying our DB. ORMs are used to translate between the data representations used by databases and those used in object-oriented programming, and in this service, we will be using one of the most common ones in the nodejs ecosystem, Prisma. It is the only fully type-safe ORM in the TypeScript ecosystem. The generated Prisma Client ensures typed query results even for partial queries and relations.

Prisma: An ORM for seamless database interactions.

Web Sockets / Real Time built in. Again, 409 up votes on Github, and they offer 3rd party support. Version 1 had this. Edge Functions DO support web sockets. Let's get this done!

Even now, fewer full-stack developers are willing to directly talk with databases through the complexities of SQL queries and database schema management, let alone the ones that come from the front-end world. Therefore ORM has already been the standard kit for the existing framework. For instance, all three frameworks mentioned above have adopted Prisma ORM.

Sequelize - modern Typescript and NodeJS ORM for Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server+docs

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

In this example, we're using Sequelize ORM to update a document in a PostgreSQL database on an express.js endpoint. As you might have noticed, we're not checking any kind of access rights at the moment. That means anybody can edit any document, which isn't ideal, right?
