How Prisma and MongoDB fit together

MongoDB is a powerful NoSQL database that allows developers to intuitively work with their data. However, due to its schemaless nature, developers may run into data inconsistencies as they’re evolving their applications.

Prisma is a next-generation ORM/ODM that makes it easier to ensure data consistency by providing an easy-to-read schema and a type-safe database client with auto-completion for all queries.
