What each one is

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

Drizzle ORM

Leader

Drizzle is a headless ORM that allows developers to define SQL schemas and write type-safe, relational queries against PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases. It emphasizes serverless compatibility, small bundle size, and works across Node.js runtimes, edge platforms, and browsers without external dependencies.

Independently observed

Objection.js

A query-building library for Node.js that makes it easy to work with relational databases using both high-level abstractions and raw SQL when needed. It supports schema relationships, type safety through TypeScript, and works across multiple database systems.
