Modern Database Access for TypeScript & Node.js

Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and makes database access easy with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript & Node.js.

Features

• Replaces traditional ORMs and makes DB access easy
• Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
• Improves productivity, performance, and safety for Node.js + TypeScript developers
• Pros
  • Handles data as objects (different from ORMs)
  • Intuitive handling of relations
  • Declarative, readable DB schema
  • Autocompletion for DB queries
  • Typesafe queries
  • The query API is generated from the DB schema, so when the schema changes, you just regenerate the API and the changes are applied automatically
  • The Prisma client is compatible with REST, GraphQL, Thrift, gRPC
• RedwoodJS also chose Prisma
