And ofcourse, there is a limit to what you want to spend even if it might make some profit long term. You need to be able to find programmers to maintain things etc as well. If I needed something handling massive traffic while handling real business logic but not allowed to cost more than a few bucks in hosting, I would use something like [0]. But that would be silly for maintenance reasons alone. Does anyone know a modern (well maintained I mean really) equivalent though? I played around with this a long time ago and it is incredibly efficient.

[0] http://datadraw.sourceforge.net/ (github; https://github.com/waywardgeek/datadraw as sourceforge seems down)

Edit; maybe I answered that last question by finding a github version: seems waywardgeek does maintain at least to keep it running.

https://diesel.rs ? Maybe https://tql.antoyo.xyz/ if you care more about ease of use.

Datadraw is not an ORM; it is more comparable to a statically compiled Redis. So it is far less flexible, but it is very efficient/fast.

One of the purposes of Datadraw is for instance to build SQL databases on top of.
