Concepts / Overview

Prisma in your stack

Prisma is a database toolkit that simplifies database access. You can use Prisma tools to build a GraphQL or REST API, or as part of a fullstack application - the extent to which you incorporate Prisma is up to you.

Tip: If you are building a GraphQL API, check out GraphQL Nexus - code first GraphQL schemas with a plugin specifically for Prisma.
