Architecture
Building GraphQL servers with Prisma
GraphQL is a standard for data fetching with a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries for client-side development. With Prisma you can take advantage of this same ecosystem in your server code.
Raw MySQL
With RAW MySQL:
- Manually inspect selection set or risk overfetching
- Data fetching logic pollutes domain logic
- Risk of SQL injection attacks
... but with Prisma
- Optimal selection set is created automatically
- Blazing fast queries using Prisma’s query engine
- Type safe query DSL eliminates runtime errors
