Natis

Natis is a MySQL utility library (version 3.0.1) that provides a thin wrapper around the mysql2 package for Node.js. It simplifies common MySQL operations such as querying, connection pooling, and transaction management with a promise-based API. Unlike full-fledged ORMs like Sequelize or TypeORM, Natis focuses on lightweight, minimal abstraction, giving developers direct SQL control while handling connection lifecycle and error retries. It is released on an as-needed cadence, with v3 introducing breaking changes to the API (async/await required, no callback support). Requires mysql2 as a peer dependency and supports TypeScript definitions.
