Hybrid Data: Using Drizzle ORM Relational + KV Store
The best developers use the right tool for the job. Storing highly volatile, short-lived data like shopping baskets or feature flags in a relational DB leads to table bloat and vacuuming issues.

Why This Matters Now
When discussing drizzle in 2026, the trend strongly points towards simplified architecture. Keeping overhead low allows you to iterate faster without managing complex databases.
