What each one is

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

Atlas

A tool for managing database schemas declaratively as code, supporting schema migrations, security policies, data lineage, and multiple database backends. Includes both open-source and cloud-hosted versions with audit capabilities.

Independently observed

SQLAlchemy

Leader

SQLAlchemy provides Python developers with a toolkit for working with SQL databases, featuring both a low-level SQL expression language and an optional object mapper. It balances flexibility and abstraction, allowing developers to write type-safe database queries while retaining the ability to use hand-optimized SQL when needed.
