Show HN: ZenStack – Modern Data Layer for TypeScript Apps (opens in new tab)

When Prisma 2.0 launched, they also shared their vision for a "uniform data access layer" inspired by Facebook's TAO and Twitter's Strato (https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-raises-series-a-saks1zr7ki...). That idea resonated with me.

Several years passed, Prisma seemed to have gone in a different direction, but I want to continue it.

ZenStack V3 is now GA. It started as a Prisma extension but hit limits. V3 reimplements the ORM to provide a solid foundation for the vision to continue. It is a TypeScript ORM built on top of Kysely (kysely.dev), but more. Schema-first, Prisma-compatibility, built-in access control, automatic CRUD API, and other goodies.

Especially if you're building SaaS apps or multi-tenant systems, it might be worth a look.
