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.

Does Anyone Know A Good ORM To Use For An Existing Complex Postgres Database
This is cool. It is very similar to what https://github.com/mmkal/slonik-tools/tree/master/packages/typegen
-
NextJS full-stack app with relational DB
Prisma isn't alone with this approach. pgTyped and slonik together with slonik-tools give you the same "zero-cost" type safety for your database queries. The main difference to Prisma is that they only support type safety for raw SQL queries, which works great if that's your preferred way of interacting with your database.

What package do you guys use for postgres in node js?
Lately though I've been using slonik (and @slonik/migrator) for lighter setups -- it very much gets out of your way so if you want to do some simple queries really quickly and don't want any ceremony it's a nice light option.

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?
(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).
