Prisma

About Prisma

Prisma is an open-source ORM and managed PostgreSQL platform trusted by over 500,000 monthly active developers. It combines a type-safe query builder with instant database deployment, eliminating boilerplate SQL while giving you full TypeScript autocomplete in your IDE. Instead of writing raw queries or juggling a separate database admin tool, Prisma gives you a single unified layer — from schema definition and migrations to runtime queries and visual data browsing. Prisma Postgres, their managed database offering, includes connection pooling, automatic backups, built-in observability, and edge compatibility out of the box. You go from zero to a production-ready database without touching infrastructure configuration. Prisma Migrate makes schema changes safe with auto-generated SQL migrations, and the Prisma Data Browser lets non-technical teammates view and edit records without touching code. Particularly popular in the TypeScript and Next.js ecosystem, Prisma integrates cleanly with Vercel, Cloudflare, and other modern deployment platforms. Eligible early-stage startups can apply for $10,000 in credits through the Prisma for Startups program.
