If you need PostgreSQL as the backend database with ORM support, a solid stack is:
- Database: PostgreSQL
- ORM: one of:
- Prisma (great for TypeScript/Node.js)
- TypeORM (popular in Node.js)
- Sequelize (mature, flexible)
- Django ORM (if using Python/Django)
- SQLAlchemy (if using Python)
- Hibernate/JPA (if using Java/Kotlin)
Good default recommendation
If your app is Node.js or TypeScript, I’d recommend:
- PostgreSQL + Prisma
- Easy schema management
- Strong type safety
- Good developer experience
- Works well for most backend apps
Example stack
- Backend: Node.js (NestJS / Express / Fastify)
- ORM: Prisma
- DB: PostgreSQL
Basic setup flow
- Install PostgreSQL
- Add ORM package
- Configure DB connection string
- Define models/entities
- Run migrations
- Query via ORM in your backend
If you want, I can help you with:
- choosing the best ORM for your language
- Docker setup for PostgreSQL
- starter project boilerplate
- example schema + CRUD code
