Performance Benchmarks: Comparing Query Latency across TypeScript ORMs & Databases
We have created open-source performance benchmarks to compare query latencies for Prisma ORM, TypeORM and Drizzle ORM with different database providers such as PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, Supabase and Neon. Read on to learn about our methodology and which TypeScript ORM is the fastest.
Selecting the best ORM for your application involves considering several factors, with query performance being a significant one.
To assist you in deciding which ORM to use for your TypeScript app, we have created open-source performance benchmarks comparing the query performance of three ORM libraries: Prisma ORM, TypeORM, and Drizzle ORM (using their Query API).
Based on the data we've collected, it's not possible to conclude that one ORM always performs better than the other. Instead, it depends on the respective query, dataset, schema, and the infrastructure on which the query is executed.
Measuring and comparing query performance can be a daunting task and there's a lot of factors to consider for creating a fair comparison.
