Articles tagged Platform on the Prisma blog: guides, announcements, and updates from the team building Prisma ORM and Prisma Postgres.
Prisma Is Building the Stack for the Next Million Products
Prisma is building a software factory: one environment where a builder describes what they want and an agent builds it, runs it, inspects it, fixes it, and keeps going. Prisma ORM, Prisma Postgres, and Prisma Compute, connected into one loop.
Launching Prisma Compute in Public Beta
Prisma Compute is now in public beta: TypeScript app hosting that runs on the same infrastructure as your database. Point your agent at your project and tell it to deploy.
Infraslopture and Other Paradoxes
How we're combining untrustable agents and production infrastructure without burning down our servers
Ship risky schema changes with per-branch databases
Prisma Compute gives every branch its own Prisma Postgres database. Rehearse expand-and-contract migrations in isolation before they touch production.
Serverless Postgres: How It Works and How to Choose a Provider
Serverless Postgres separates compute from storage and bills for usage instead of provisioned servers. How scale-to-zero, cold starts, and the three pricing models compare across Neon, Prisma Postgres, Supabase, Aurora, and PlanetScale.
TypeScript 7 in a Real Monorepo: 3x Faster Type Checks, Mostly Config Changes
TypeScript 7 ships the compiler as a native Go port. We migrated a large TypeScript monorepo to it: whole-repo type checking went from ~74s to ~24s with no memory tuning. Here are the numbers, the exact config diffs, the sharp edges, and who should migrate now.
Claude Generated 50 Websites Overnight. Prisma Compute Helped Ship Them.
Ali Fatemi gave Claude the Prisma docs and CLI, then used Prisma Compute to turn AI-generated websites into working URLs.
Prisma Compute vs Vercel Pricing
Prisma Compute vs Vercel, priced line by line: the same workload runs ~$98 vs ~$236. See why, and why Vercel bills the workflow while Prisma bills the work.
How One Founder Builds a Live Sports Platform Without a Database Team
How Xeito uses Prisma ORM and Prisma Postgres to ship live scoring, leagues, payments, and player workflows without a database team.
Evaluating Object Storage Providers for Prisma Compute
We benchmarked Tigris and Cloudflare R2 from six Prisma Compute regions using a latency-sensitive virtual filesystem workload, with AWS S3 and S3 Express as a baseline.
How Prisma Compute Keeps Time Accurate in Long-Running Applications
How Prisma Compute keeps wall-clock time accurate in long-running Firecracker microVMs, using the host-paired KVM PTP clock instead of an in-guest NTP daemon.
Price the Work, Not the Workflow
Agents can ship, preview, test, and retry in loops. Infrastructure pricing should charge for the work an app performs, not the workflow around it.
