What is Prisma?

Prisma makes working with data easy! It offers a type-safe Node.js & TypeScript ORM, global database caching, connection pooling, and real-time database events.

Get started with Prisma

Query

// Creating a new record
await prisma.user.create({
  firstName: “Alice”,
  email: “alice@prisma.io”
})

Table

id  firstName    email  
1   Bobby        bobby@tables.io
2   Nilufar      nilu@email.com
3   Jürgen       jums@dums.edu
4   Alice        alice@prisma.io

How Prisma and MongoDB fit together

MongoDB is a powerful NoSQL database that allows developers to intuitively work with their data. However, due to its schemaless nature, developers may run into data inconsistencies as they’re evolving their applications.

Prisma is a next-generation ORM/ODM that makes it easier to ensure data consistency by providing an easy-to-read schema and a type-safe database client with auto-completion for all queries.
