Well deserved for the drizzle team but difficult to imagine a world where they don’t prioritize Planetscale-specific work.

Well yeah… why else would the company have bought them? It wasn’t because they just love ORMs and this one specifically they just wanted to make sure survived because they happened to be using it. It doesn’t work like that.

You can mostly just skip past whatever vague platitudes the announcement post makes toward stuff like this and instead just watch the product closely over the next few months to figure out how it’s gonna go. Trusting anything said in the announcement is a recipe for getting burned later

Can someone non-drizzle or planetscale explain to me the appeal of drizzle while other orms/sdks already exist?

I use Sequelize at work and have used drizzle for a few personal projects and I can say that I really like the following: - Native TS integration - The migrations system is wonderful - The API is more intuitive, imo. I think it comes down to personal preference to use any/none of these tools, but I liked it enough to donate some space cash to the project.

I think many saw this coming and it's probably a good thing. Personally I went with Kysely as a thinner abstraction with less risk of being acquired and turned into something that no longer aligns with my objectives. Still this is probably a nice boost to the major rewrite the Drizzle team is working on.
