Join the AI Workshop to learn more about AI and how it can be applied to web development. Next cohort February 1st, 2026
The AI-first Web Development BOOTCAMP cohort starts February 24th, 2026. 10 weeks of intensive training and hands-on projects.
I use Kysely in all my projects where I don’t need a more complicated solution like Prisma.
It is really a wonderful library that helps us interact with relational databases.
It supports all the most popular ones: Postgres, MySQL, SQLite…
We’ll set it up for Postgres here.
NOTE: I will only explain the basic usage here. You can go much more complicated if needed.
