BetterStarter uses Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL — a lightweight, type-safe ORM with first-class migration support.

What's Included

Schema definitions in src/db/schema/ with full TypeScript types
Migration workflow: generate SQL → review → apply
Drizzle Studio for visual DB inspection
Support for local Postgres, Supabase, Neon, and any PostgreSQL provider

Commands

pnpm db:generate   # generate SQL migration from schema changes
pnpm db:migrate    # apply pending migrations
pnpm db:push       # sync schema directly (dev only)
pnpm db:studio     # open Drizzle Studio

Schema Location

src/db/schema/
  index.ts         # re-exports all tables
  auth.ts          # user, session, account tables (managed by Better Auth)
  billing.ts       # billing_customer, entitlement, subscription

Add your own tables by creating new files in src/db/schema/ and exporting them from index.ts.
