How do you approach database access in Node.js projects…

How do you approach database access in Node.js projects ?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m curious how different developers approach database access in Node.js applications, especially when working with PostgreSQL.

There seem to be a few common patterns:

* Using an ORM like Prisma
* Using a query builder like Knex or Drizzle
* Writing raw SQL with something like pg

Rather than asking “which is best,” I’m more interested in how people *think about this choice* in real projects.

For those with production experience:

* What approach do you personally prefer, and what led you to that choice?
* How has your opinion changed over time as your projects scaled?
* Have you run into any unexpected issues (performance, debugging, migrations, etc.) with your approach?
* Do you prioritize developer experience or control when making this decision?

I’d love to hear different perspectives and trade-offs people have seen in real-world use.

Thanks!
