title: node-postgres vs pg-promise for Nodejs Application
body: <p>I'm going to build a Nodejs application with Postgresql as back end. I'm not going to use ORMs like Sequelize <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/3bye2l/has_anyone_used_an_orm_with_nodejs_that_they/" rel="noreferrer">due to poor documentation and performance problems</a> or any other ORM - <a href="http://seldo.com/weblog/2011/08/11/orm_is_an_antipattern" rel="noreferrer">ORM is an anti-pattern</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I found <strong>node-postgres</strong> and <strong>pg-promise</strong> are candidates in this regard. So, can anyone clarify the scenarios which one of the tools is better than the other or which one is way to go with description, provided that node-postgres has been developing since 2010 and pg-promise since 2015.</p>
