Yes, there are several alternatives to Sequelize for interacting with a MySQL database in a Node.js application. Here are a few:
Knex.js: This is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Postgres, MSSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, Oracle, and Amazon Redshift, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It features both traditional node style callbacks as well as a promise interface for cleaner async flow control.
TypeORM: This is an ORM that can run in Node.js and can be used with TypeScript or JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8). Its goal is to always support the latest JavaScript features and provide additional features that help you to develop any kind of application that uses databases - from small applications with a few tables to large scale enterprise applications with multiple databases.
Bookshelf.js: This is a JavaScript ORM for Node.js, built on the Knex SQL query builder and designed to work well with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite3.
Objection.js: This is an ORM for Node.js that aims to stay out of your way and make it as easy as possible to use the full power of SQL and the underlying database engine while keeping magic to a minimum.
Raw MySQL package (mysql or mysql2): You can also use the raw MySQL package to write raw SQL queries without an ORM. This gives you the most flexibility and control, but it also means you have to write more boilerplate code and handle things like escaping user input to prevent SQL injection attacks.
Each of these options has its own pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences.
