We have been polishing ZenStack for the past few months with the community. As it has been successfully used in production by some of our users, we think it’s time to share our beta with you. ZenStack is built on top of Primsa ORM, extending it with a powerful access control layer that simplifies the development of a web app's backend. By defining authorization policies and validation rules right inside the data schema, your database client can automatically enforce these constraints at runtime. Why we built this: Based on our experience developing several commercial SaaS products, we have…
- ZVZenStack V2 – RLS alternative with declarative Auth rules in Prisma2024 · zenstack.dev · ▲14
Half a year ago, we posed a Show HN about ZenStack V1 as "DSL to define data and access rules closer to the database" Throughout the month, we've attracted quite a few early adopters. Some of them, such as MermaidChart, have successfully launched into production. After talking with them, we realized that many individuals found ZenStack while seeking a cleaner and easier alternative to RLS. As a result, we pivot ourselves to be a “TypeScript toolkit on top of Prisma ORM with a fine-grained Authorization layer, auto-generated type-safe APIs, and frontend hooks”. In V2, besides the more…
- ZDZenStack – DSL to define data and access rules closer to the database2023 · github.com · ▲19
We're excited to announce the launch of ZenStack V1 after a year of refinement. With ZenStack, we introduce ZModel, a domain-specific language (DSL) that simplifies the definition of data and access rules, bringing it closer to the database level. This eliminates the need for extensive, repetitive coding on the application side. We would love to hear your feedback and opinions on it. Thank you!
- ZVZenStack V3 – TypeScript ORM Combines Strength of Prisma + Drizzle2025 · github.com · ▲16
We launched ZenStack V2(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40205699) one year ago. It is built on Prisma, adding advanced features like access control, polymorphism, API/Hook generation, etc. But as we added more features, we felt more constrained by our foundation, Prisma(Check out the specific constraints here https://zenstack.dev/blog/next-chapter-1). Therefore, we made a bold decision for ZenStack V3 to reimplement the ORM part from scratch, keeping full compatibility with the Prisma schema and API. As a result, you could get the best of both…
