Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
AWS SageMaker
- Vendor lock-in to AWS ecosystem makes migration to other platforms difficult
- Opaque pricing can lead to unexpected expenses like forgotten EBS volume charges
- Does not include native job scheduling, requiring Lambda or EventBridge integration
Drizzle ORM
- It is entirely community/sponsor-funded with no official paid support tier for enterprises needing SLAs.
- The relational query API is newer than the SQL-like API and has historically had fewer advanced features.
- Documentation and ecosystem tooling are less mature than Prisma's, which has a larger community and GUI ecosystem.
- MSSQL and CockroachCB support are newer additions still stabilizing toward a 1.0 release.
