TypeORM 1.0 is here
TypeORM v1.0 is out now!
It has been a long road, but we finally made it. TypeORM has been around since 2016, and is one of the most widely-used ORM libraries in the Node.js ecosystem. But it has been stuck in pre-1.0 limbo for that entire time, a fact which does not accurately reflect what the project has grown into over the years.
Pre-1.0 software signals instability and immaturity, when the reality is that TypeORM is one of the most mature, stable and performant Node.js ORM solutions. In fact, it has gone without breaking changes for almost 5 years since the release of v0.3 way back in 2021.
When new maintainers took over the project at the end of 2024, our first goal was to get back on track with regular releases and to start dealing with the backlog of issues and PRs that had built up over the previous couple of years where TypeORM had gone without regular maintenance. We achieved that, and through 2025 we released 8 patch versions, merged 575 PRs (vs 63 the previous year) and closed over 2,300 issues!
Over the past several months, the team has been focused on the next major target: to release v1.0 and signal that TypeORM is here to stay as a stable, mature and well-maintained open source project. This has been a huge effort and countless hours have gone into the work needed to get us here.
The TypeORM team and community is proud to present v1.0. This post covers what you need to know about upgrading.
