Kysely
A JavaScript and TypeScript SQL query builder that provides compile-time type safety and database schema validation. It works across multiple runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers, browsers) with zero runtime dependencies and emphasizes composable, type-safe queries over higher-level abstractions.
Prisma
LeaderPrisma provides type-safe database queries for TypeScript applications through automatically generated clients and schemas, paired with managed PostgreSQL hosting and compute infrastructure for running APIs and AI agents.
