    Discontinued A type-safe typescript SQL query builder [Moved to: https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely] (by koskimas)

  • Essentially, prisma is like any other ORM. It works great until you need to do something that it doesn't support, and then it breaks down fast. It's for this reason I tend to avoid ORMs in general and stick to query builders that are 1:1 wrappers to Sql (check out kysely for an interesting query builder in the works). What pains me most about Prisma, is that their model breaks down quicker than other ORMs I've used.
