## The Hook

Drizzle is type-safe SQL for developers who think Prisma is too much magic.

## What's Good

The query builder stays close to SQL syntax—if you know SQL, you know Drizzle. Zero dependencies and excellent tree-shaking make it edge-friendly. Migrations are SQL files, which some teams prefer.

## The Catch

Less magic means more typing. Relation handling requires more manual work than Prisma. The ecosystem is smaller.

## Verdict

SQL-first type safety for the abstraction-allergic.
