Node

https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

• Versioning
  • “Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.”
  • This probably applies most to production Node backends, less so for local dev build tooling
  • But I have seen frontend/RN tools say that only the LTS of Node is supported, not “Current”

ORMs

• Sequelize
  • Pros: down migration support
  • Cons: poor TS support
• Prisma
  • Pros: handles a lot for you, good TS support, does support resetting database
  • Cons: limits you in what queries you can run beyond the basics, limited down migration support
• Drizzle
  • Pros: good TS support, lets you run flexible queries
  • Cons: more complex to set up, no down migration support, no automatic DB recreation
• Adonis
  • Pros: TS native, built-in down migration support, all setup handled for you
  • Cons: depend on them to maintain the whole thing, no well-maintained GraphQL integration
