What makes Drizzle different from Prisma?

Drizzle is SQL-first, has no required code-generation step, and offers a significantly smaller bundle size while maintaining full TypeScript inference.

How does it handle database migrations?

It utilizes Drizzle Kit for generating SQL migrations and includes a migration script for programmatic execution during deployment.

Does this skill support PostgreSQL?

Yes, this skill specifically provides configurations and patterns for PostgreSQL using the pg-core and postgres-js drivers.

Can I use this with Fastify?

Yes, it includes a dedicated Fastify plugin setup to decorate the Fastify instance with a typed Drizzle database client.
