SQL-First Database Tooling Built on Kysely Aims to Replace ORM Abstractions
A new database development approach targets developers frustrated with ORM tooling, particularly around SQL migrations and environment management. Built on Kysely, the solution offers typed queries with support for stored procedures and table-valued parameters, without requiring a domain-specific language or code generation. The JavaScript and TypeScript layer handles business logic and IO coordination, while the database layer manages schema directly using native SQL migration files. A companion tool called Ignatius supports data modeling and iterative planning using markdown-based workflows compatible with LLM assistants. The platform also includes safeguards for AI agent interactions, using role configurations and MCP support to prevent automated processes from making destructive changes in production.
