Drizzle

Why Drizzle is the right TypeScript ORM in 2026. Schema-first design, end-to-end type safety, drizzle-kit migrations, relations, transactions, JSON columns, and the patterns I reach for in production.

Build a production TypeScript backend with Hono on Bun. Type-safe routing, Zod-validated inputs, Drizzle ORM with Postgres, structured errors, OpenAPI from types, and a project layout that scales past the hello-world phase.
