zenstack-v3

When Prisma 2.0 launched, they also shared their vision for a "uniform data access layer" inspired by Facebook's TAO and Twitter's Strato (https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-raises-series-a-saks1zr7ki...). That idea resonated with me. Several years passed, Prisma seemed to have gone in a different direction, but I want to continue it. ZenStack V3 is now GA. It started as a Prisma extension but hit limits. V3 reimplements the ORM to provide a solid foundation for the vision to continue. It is a TypeScript ORM built on top of Kysely (kysely.dev), but more. Schema-first, Prisma-compatibility, built-in access control, automatic CRUD API, and other goodies. Especially if you're building SaaS apps or multi-tenant systems, it might be worth a look. repo: https://github.com/zenstackhq/zenstack-v3

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.
