## The Hook

SQLx verifies your queries at compile time.

## What's Good

Queries checked against the actual database schema. Async from the ground up. No ORM overhead—just SQL. Supports Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite.

## The Catch

Compile-time checking requires database connection. Migration story is simpler than some alternatives. Complex queries need understanding.

## Verdict

SQL that the compiler actually checks.
