Drift
On the record
- Backends
- The setup guide documents SQLite and PostgreSQL dependencies, and the documentation also covers remote libSQL and Turso.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 29 Sep 2026
- Database integrations
- Drift supports SQLite and has packages for PostgreSQL and libSQL connections, including local-copy synchronization with libSQL.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 30 Sep 2026
- Developer tools
- Drift provides a DevTools extension for inspecting databases and tables, modifying table contents, and validating schemas.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 30 Sep 2026
- Dev tooling
- The setup uses drift_dev and build_runner to generate code at compile time.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 29 Sep 2026
- Encryption
- Native databases can use SQLite3MultipleCiphers for encryption, and the documentation recommends this approach for new apps.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 30 Sep 2026
- Intended users
- Drift is presented for developers building Dart and Flutter applications that need relational persistence.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 29 Sep 2026

- Drift provides migration utilities, but developers need to write migrations when changing an existing database schema.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 29 Sep 2026
- PostgreSQL limit
- Some APIs, including date-time modification APIs, are only supported with SQLite; most queries work with PostgreSQL without modification.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 30 Sep 2026
- Reactive queries
- Queries can be watched as auto-updating streams that emit when the underlying data changes.drift.simonbinder.eu · read 30 Sep 2026
