Resolve complex queries with top performance
Prisma comes with an advanced query engine ensuring that even complex queries are resolved as fast as possible.
Build a GraphQL server with any database
Prisma is a performant open-source GraphQL ORM-like* layer doing the heavy lifting in your GraphQL server.
Prisma simplifies GraphQL server development
Prisma is the glue between your GraphQL API and database. Implement resolvers using Prisma bindings and delegate queries to Prisma's powerful query engine

Schema
Generated CRUD API as foundation for your server
Prisma provides a powerful filtering, sorting, pagination (e.g. Relay connections) API. You just need to piggyback on it.
Easily add realtime features to your API
GraphQL subscriptions work out of-the-box with Prisma. No more complicated & brittle pub/sub logic for your databases.
Prisma makes working with databases easy through the simplicity of GraphQL
Prisma improves your database workflows and saves you from writing complex SQL queries or the intricacies of working with NoSQL APIs.
Read & write to your database with GraphQL
Prisma turns your database into a GraphQL API and enables the use of GraphQL as a universal query language for all databases. Instead of writing SQL or using a NoSQL API, you can query your database with GraphQL.
- Based on OpenCRUD
- Supports MySQL, Postgres & MongoDB
- Simple API for joins, mutations,
filters & pagination
Easy data modeling and migrations with GraphQL
Prisma uses GraphQL SDL as a tool for defining the data model in your application. The data model is then translated into an actual database schema. This approach makes migration flows for your databases easy.
- Powerful data modelling with GraphQL SDL
- Simple database migration process
- Faster development cycles
type User {
id: ID! @unique
createdAt: DateTime!
name: String!
admin: Boolean! @default(value: "true")
}Datamodel in GraphQL SDL
CREATE TABLE User(
`id` CHAR(25),
`createdAt` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT
`updatedAt` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT
`name` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL,
`admin` BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT TRUE,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE INDEX `id_UNIQUE` (`id` ASC)
)Generated SQL
