I'm very excited about the work Prisma is doing. I didn't get it at first but after trying it out, it was the best ORM experience I've had in Javascript.

It introspects your DB and generates a client that provides typescript definitions for your queries. When I try to select a non-existent field or relation, I get warned via ts.

Right now it's mainly their client that is production ready but they are making great progress on their migrations tooling. For now I still write my migrations in raw SQL, but I'll probably swicth to prisma-based migrations once it's a bit more mature.

I do find the typed query builder interesting, I don't think it's fully "there" yet in terms of functionality. I think they need to ditch the whole 'definitive single state' database model and just lean hard into the typed query builder. I'd seriously consider it if they were to implement similar functionality as the Java JOOQ library.
