Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM
Prisma helps app developers build faster and make fewer errors with an open source database toolkit for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite and MongoDB (Preview).
Prisma Schema
Data model
you can read
Central to Prisma is the schema - a declarative way to define your app's data models and their relations that's human-readable. And you don't have to painstakingly create it from scratch if you already have a database - prisma introspect takes care of that.

Prisma Client
Type-safe
database client
Prisma Client is a query builder that composes the way you think and gets auto-generated from the Prisma schema with types tailored to your app. We designed the API to be intuitive for both SQL veterans and people brand new to databases.
Extra ergonomy in Visual Studio Code
Auto-completion, linting, formatting and more help Prisma developers in VSCode stay confident without distractions.
