Do you really need an ORM?
I'm designing a Next app with a postgres DB in supabase, and want to use tRPC so I have some methods I can share to other apps I might make in future (using React Native or something).
I've got the db defined in supabase - there's a bunch of tools that make that super easy - then I can use supabase typegen to make the requisite types. Then I can create tRPC methods using those types.
So what's the use in an ORM like prisma or drizzle? What is it adding?
