Out of curiosity would anyone use prisma over kysely and why?

A lot of people do use Prisma

Alright thanks, 😅 kysely documentation website just looks uncomfortable

I actually find kysely to be incredibly well documented since it uses tsdoc

🤔 really

To expand on what I said earlier, Prisma requires shipping large rust binaries with your lambda. This really slows down cold start times

Thanks for the insights

Additionally Prisma can only connect using a normal postgres connection whereas our kysely setup uses the data api. This means with Prisma you need to also place an RDS proxy in front to deal with the large number of connections

I’ve just started with it and have built some pretty complex dynamic queries really quickly, including the likes of MATCH AGAINST for fulltext indexes, very impressed. The author is very responsive in the Discord server too.

anyone have experience with TypeORM's start times? I dislike TypeORM a lot and am looking for any excuse to rip it out

Typeorm is just using pg under the hood right? Shouldn't be any worse than anything else

probably

That said I haven't seen anything that bad with either PG or MySQL with kysely

kysely's API and documentation looks beautiful. gonna experimen with migrating from typeorm (whose documentation is decidedly NOT beautiful)

Haha love to see a convert!
