Show HN: ZenStack V3 – TypeScript ORM Combines Strength of Prisma + Drizzle

a year ago

We launched ZenStack V2(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40205699) one year ago. It is built on Prisma, adding advanced features like access control, polymorphism, API/Hook generation, etc. But as we added more features, we felt more constrained by our foundation, Prisma(Check out the specific constraints here https://zenstack.dev/blog/next-chapter-1).

Therefore, we made a bold decision for ZenStack V3 to reimplement the ORM part from scratch, keeping full compatibility with the Prisma schema and API. As a result, you could get the best of both worlds of Prisma and Drizzle:

- Keep Prisma's elegant, LLM-friendly schema

- Get Drizzle-level flexibility and performance

V3 is still alpha but evolving fast. Start the repo to stay tuned! And I'd love to hear your thoughts.
