What is Saffier ORM?
Saffier is a Python async Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) built on top of SQLAlchemy core, designed to simplify database interactions with a familiar, Django-like interface. It provides an async-first solution for mapping object-oriented programs to relational databases while maintaining flexibility and performance. The ORM bridges the gap between async Python applications and traditional database workflows.
Python developers building async web applications with ASGI frameworks like FastAPI, Starlette, or Esmerald who need a robust, async-capable ORM. Teams looking for a Django-like ORM experience without the Django framework overhead.
Developers choose Saffier for its async-native design combined with a familiar, ergonomic API that reduces learning curves. It offers a direct SQLAlchemy-core-powered workflow without forcing a Pydantic-centric architecture, making it lightweight and framework-agnostic while including powerful features like multi-tenancy and built-in migrations.
