Stop Using ORM
Speaker
RZ
Roman Zaiev
Founder & CEO @ Hypha. After 14 years of engineering, most recently as a Senior Engineer at a leading UK fintech, I’m now dedicated to my own venture — Hypha, a video-on-demand platform for businesses and professional creators.
Co-founder of my family, proud father of my little princess, a big fan of Bluey, and an avid Go player.
Abstract
SQL is an excellent DSL for relational data, but ORMs hide it behind their own leaky abstractions. This talk shows how to build a cleaner persistence layer and use Postgres to its fullest, without the overhead you never asked for.
