# Drizzle ORM
Drizzle is the lightweight challenger to Prisma. v0.30+ (2025) focuses on **SQL-like** syntax, zero dependencies at runtime, and extreme cold-start performance.
## When to Use
- **Serverless**: Zero runtime overhead makes it perfect for Lambdas.
- **SQL Lovers**: You prefer `db.select().from(users)` over object APIs.
- **Performance**: Faster query building than Prisma.
## Core Concepts
### Schema Definition
Define tables in TS. `export const users = pgTable('users', { ... })`.
### Query Builder
Composable, type-safe SQL builder.
### Relational API
`db.query.users.findMany({ with: { posts: true } })` (Prisma-like convenience).
## Best Practices (2025)
**Do**:
- **Use `drizzle-kit`**: For migration management.
- **Use `run`**: Explicit execution model.
- **Use Driver Specifics**: Drizzle embraces database-specific features (JSONB, Arrays).
**Don't**:
- **Don't over-abstract**: Drizzle shines when you stay close to SQL.
