Strategic Node.js crossroads in 2023
summary
Compares concrete choices: use Prisma when you need Prisma's diff migration and a full end-to-end workflow with a generated, type-safe client; use Drizzle for near-1:1 SQL control and Drizzle's SQL-like queries that produce predictable SQL and avoid hidden extra queries; prefer Fastify for a simple procedural server and avoid NestJS complexity and RxJS for trivial tasks; adopt tRPC type sharing only when mono-repo tight coupling is acceptable; choose Turborepo caching for fast CI builds or Nx only if you want heavy scaffolding.
