Prisma is a next-generation ORM that consists of these tools:
- Prisma Client: Auto-generated and type-safe query builder for Node.js & TypeScript
- Prisma Migrate: Declarative data modeling & migration system
- Prisma Studio: GUI to view and edit data in your database
Prisma Client can be used in any Node.js or TypeScript backend application (including serverless applications and microservices). This can be a REST API, a GraphQL API a gRPC API, or anything else that needs a database.
If you need a database to use with Prisma ORM, check out Prisma Postgres or if you are looking for our MCP Server, head here.
The fastest way to get started with Prisma is by following the Quickstart (5 min).
The Quickstart is based on a preconfigured SQLite database. You can also get started with your own database (PostgreSQL and MySQL) by following one of these guides:
