Potential Pitfalls of Over-Reliance on SQLAlchemy

[codingismycraft]

Using SQLAlchemy, a widely-used SQL toolkit and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) system in Python, may not always be the best choice for all scenarios. Although powerful and effective for creating UI-focused services, SQLAlchemy might lead to undesirable outcomes when used for backend services requiring modularity, high performance, and maintainability. In such cases, over-reliance on SQLAlchemy can contradict fundamental object-oriented principles, resulting in poorly structured code.

Personally, i use SQLAlchemy very sparingly and usually prefer thinner libraries based exclusively on raw SQL and I would like to head what others are thinking about..
