v1.43.9 — First class ORM support in Encore.ts

[marcuskohlberg]

In this release we've added greatly improved support for using ORMs and migration frameworks with Encore.ts.
Remember to update: encore version update

Since Encore’s approach to database management is flexible, i.e. it uses standard SQL migration files, it now supports integration with most popular ORMs.

📚 We've created examples and docs for how to use:

• Prisma
• Drizzle
• Knex.js
• Sequelize

Many other ORMs are also supported. Here's how you can reason about it:

• ORM Compatibility: If an ORM can connect to a database via a standard SQL driver, it will work with Encore.
• Migration Tool Compatibility: If your migration tool generates SQL migration files without additional customization, it can be used with Encore.

When using an ORM such as drizzle, is encore able to record db calls and show on the encore dashboard what queries hit the database per request?

Hi, great question.
Not currently, but full tracing support for ORMs is coming soon.
