+1. I’m a happy user of slonik for several years. Zod integration is very useful

Totally agree. Slonik has had typed queries for some time now, but the integration with zod means that those types are verified at runtime. Incredibly useful with Typescript.

Hi gajus! slonik is a very handy tool, and I used it in production for a quiet some years with success.

Is there any plan to move to PostgresJs instead of pg? If not, would you mind explaining why sticking with pg?

You can already use postgres with Slonik.

It is not going to be the default because it is way slower.

Test node_version:18 test_only:postgres-integration is taking 3 minutes.

Test node_version:18 test_only:pg-integration is taking 38 seconds.

It is possible that this is an issue with https://github.com/gajus/postgres-bridge, but I was not able to pinpoint anything in particular that would explain the time difference.
