What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Atlas

A language-agnostic tool that lets teams define database schemas as code, automatically plans and executes migrations, and monitors for drift. It works with multiple databases and integrates into CI/CD workflows like Terraform does for infrastructure.

Independently observed

Drizzle ORM

Leader

A thin, typed layer over SQL that enables developers to declare database schemas and write type-safe queries in TypeScript while maintaining compatibility with standard SQL. Includes CLI tools for migrations and a data browser for managing PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases.
