When we create a TypeScript project that has both a Rest Api and a web app, it becomes challenging to keep type definitions concise in the long run. This is where tRPC comes in, with this toolkit it is possible to create a totally type safe application by only using inference.

ORM is a library to access the database, high-level library where you can define models, relations. Ideal ORM allows to define queries and then combine and reuse them to construct more complex queries. I'll share my experience of working with 6 popular ORMs including knex which is query builder.

Object-relational mapping (ORM) is a technique that abstracts your database tables to data objects in memory. ORMs are used to make database access easier, as developers won’t need to write raw queries. For convenience, NestJS provides tight integrations with TypeORM and Sequelize out of the box.

Prisma is an open-source ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool for Node.js and TypeScript applications. It simplifies database access and management by providing a type-safe query builder and schema management tools for interacting with databases. Readers can learn how Prisma improves developer productivity and database performance by abstracting away SQL queries, providing automatic schema migrations, and enabling type-safe database interactions in Node.js and TypeScript applications.
