An opinionated ORM for TypeScript/node/postgres.

• Schema-driven code generation (continually-generated classes w/the getter/setter/relation boilerplate)
• Guaranteed N 1 safe (pervasive use of Facebook's dataloader
• All relations are async/await (with an ergonomic, type-safe escape hatch)
• Great performance (all SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE operations are bulk)
• Fast tests (for downstream projects, baseline is 10-20ms/test case)
• Unit of Work (navigate between entities as a consistent graph)

See joist-orm.io for documentation.
