Prisma Postgres
Production-ready Postgres, already wired to your stack
Prisma Compute hosts TypeScript apps (Node.js, Bun or Next.js) next to Prisma Postgres on one plan. Generally available since August 2026. Free plan, no credit card. Any Postgres client works; Prisma ORM is optional.
Free tier with a hard cap. No credit card.
- Branch your database alongside your app, free, per PR
- Autoscaling that handles spikes without capacity planning
- Predictable pricing with spend limits, no surprise bills
daily backup
A database that ships with the rest of your stack
When your database and your hosting come from separate vendors, the things that should be automatic — preview environments with real data, end-to-end test setups, single-config deploys — turn into work you have to do.
Branch with your app, per PR
Predictable pricing with spend limits
Autoscaling without capacity planning
Standard Postgres, no lock-in
Branches, deploys, and config that come with the app
Prisma Postgres runs on the same platform as Compute, so the features below come from one platform doing what two vendors can't.
Branch with your app
When Compute branches a deploy, Prisma Postgres branches with it — every preview gets a dedicated, fully-isolated database.
export default module(, ({ provision }) => {
const db = provision(postgres());
provision(web, { deps: { db } });
});
One config for both halves
The same Composer module.ts declares your app and your database. No two-vendor wiring, no dashboards to keep in sync.
no credit card
Predictable pricing
Operation-based pricing with spend limits you set yourself. A quiet month costs almost nothing, a busy one never surprises you.
Daily backups
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Full tenant isolation
Production-ready from day one
Daily backups, encryption at rest and in transit, full tenant isolation, and SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and GDPR at the Business tier.
Standard Postgres, no lock-in
Standard Postgres underneath: leave with pg_dump; the Composer module is a TypeScript file in your repo, not a runtime. Standard SQL and wire protocol, with extensions like pgvector.
Built to work with the rest of Prisma
Prisma Postgres runs on the same platform as Compute, and the schema you define in Prisma ORM drives your migrations and your typed client. The more of the stack you use, the less there is to wire together.
Best together. Swappable when needed.
Swap any layer. It still works.
Everything wired for you: one config, per-PR branching across app and database, and no network hop between them.

Trusted by 500K+ TypeScript developers
“Prisma makes database management incredibly easy. Prisma's built-in type safety helps us avoid mistakes that happen with manual setups.”
“We chose Prisma because it provides us with type safety directly from the database. It has helped us tremendously to catch possible errors early on.”
“Prisma Postgres has really good DX. It's easy, simple, straightforward. I don't spend time on deployment. It just works.”
“Prisma is the best ORM I have ever used, I never want to use anything else again. The excellent developer experience with its incredible TypeScript support sold me at first.”
“Prisma has a low learning curve. Productivity becomes higher because it gets combined with end-to-end type-safety using TypeScript.”
Ricardo AlmeidaSoftware Engineer, Grover“Prisma has been an absolute game changer for Memberstack. It has helped us move faster while also improving product stability.”

“We've proudly built the core of our APIs on top of Prisma, and we are very happy that we did. It doesn't make us jump through unnecessary hoops to get normal work done and generally just works.”
“Prisma's approach to type-safe ORM is next-level. It provides full type-safety without any codegen or messy types and interfaces to write and maintain.”
Pieter VenterSr. Software Engineer, Invisible“Prisma is a professional enterprise-ready tool that is easy to start using, ramp up and scale. It is the type of tool developed for the software engineers of today.”
“The combination of Prisma, TypeScript and our pretty thorough coverage with integration tests gives us the confidence to refactor critical parts of our code.”
Thibaut NguyenCTO, Poppy“I chose Prisma because of its clean API, nice developer experience and type safety. It helped me ship v1 of Instatus really fast.”
“This is the fastest I've ever developed in my life, by far. The tooling has dramatically cut down on the amount of time I've had to spend.”

Prisma Postgres is the data half of a TypeScript platform. Use it on its own with any ORM and any host, or pair it with Compute and your app and database become one deploy, one config, one branched preview environment per PR.
