Kysely - Type-Safe SQL Query Builder

Overview

Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder that provides end-to-end type safety from database schema to query results. Unlike ORMs, it generates plain SQL and gives you full control while maintaining perfect TypeScript inference.

Key Features:

  • Complete type inference (schema → queries → results)
  • Zero runtime overhead (compiles to SQL)
  • Database-agnostic (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL)
  • Migration system included
  • Plugin ecosystem (CTEs, JSON, geospatial)
  • Raw SQL integration when needed

Installation:

npm install kysely
# Database driver (choose one)
npm install pg              # PostgreSQL
