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

SQLAlchemy

Leader

A Python-based database toolkit offering both an Object-Relational Mapper for domain-driven development and a SQL construction system for direct database interaction, supporting multiple database backends.
