Prisma ORM in your stack

Prisma ORM provides a fully type-safe API and simplified database access. You can use Prisma ORM tools to build a GraphQL or REST API, or as part of a fullstack application - the extent to which you incorporate Prisma ORM is up to you.

REST

When building REST APIs, Prisma Client can be used inside your route controllers to send databases queries.

GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for APIs. It is often used as an alternative to RESTful APIs, but can also be used as an additional "gateway" layer on top of existing RESTful services.

Fullstack

Fullstack frameworks, such as Next.js, Remix or SvelteKit, blur the lines between the server and the client. These frameworks also provide different patterns for fetching and mutating data on the server.

Is Prisma ORM an ORM?

To answer the question briefly: Yes, Prisma ORM is a new kind of ORM that fundamentally differs from traditional ORMs and doesn't suffer from many of the problems commonly associated with these.
