Introducing TinyORM: A Minimal TypeScript ORM Focused on Speed and Simplicity

In the world of web development, speed matters — especially when it comes to building and deploying applications efficiently. Recognizing the need for a streamlined and lightweight data management tool, I’ve developed TinyORM, a minimal Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) built with TypeScript that emphasizes rapid shipping with minimal fuss.

Why TinyORM?

Many existing ORM solutions tend to be overly complex or burdened with heavy dependencies, making them less ideal for projects where agility is key. I believe that a simpler approach can significantly reduce development time and simplify maintenance. TinyORM was designed for developers who want to focus on building features rather than deciphering lengthy documentation or managing intricate migration workflows.

Design Philosophy

TinyORM aims to strike a balance by favoring simplicity and speed over granular optimizations. While it makes some trade-offs — like foregoing certain advanced features for a leaner footprint — it delivers a development experience that is fast, intuitive, and easy to adopt. This makes it particularly well-suited for projects that prioritize quick iteration and minimal setup.
