I experienced many kinds of problems with TypeORM, including data corruption and lost. Before using it in a project I strongly suggest taking a look around its issues or at least reading the issue about its future [0].

On the other side my experience with Prisma 2 so far has been excellent and I found a very good community around it.

>> including data corruption and lost

Im using TypeORM and happy to learn if it is so. Can you please show any relevant issues for it ?

It would be interesting to understand how data corruption and lost happens at ORM level!

The gist of this conversation is - passionate open source devs outdo many folds in their work yet fail to monetise their work. And a VC backed company here has little to show for apart from they've managed to trend in HN!

To be fair sync feature is marked as unsafe to use in production in documentation.

The issue title mentions the sync feature but the same happened with migrations and I don't want code randomly dropping data from my database even if it is in a development environment anyway. But that is not the point because no one would run automatic code like this on production data without some kind safety net. The point I was trying to make is "listing features as non beta doesn't make them stable". As far as I am concerned the alpha preview of Prisma 2 has been far more stable than every other version of TypeORM I had to work with.
