The Prisma Stack
One platform, from schema to production
An integrated TypeScript stack where your ORM, Postgres database, and app hosting share one workflow, so developers and coding agents can ship without coordinating between separate vendors.
- One shared context across your stack
- Type-safe ORM, managed Postgres, and TypeScript app hosting
- Built for developers and coding agents shipping real applications

The TypeScript stack, integrated by design
ORM, database, and hosting designed to work together, so your agent can build, deploy, and iterate without coordinating between vendors.
Type-safe data layer
Prisma ORM
A declarative, type-safe schema that gives your app, your team, and your agent one shared contract across the stack.
- Schema-as-LLM-context: small, dense, and machine-readable
- Structured errors agents can understand and act on
- Rebuilt in native TypeScript for faster type-checking at scale
- Free, open-source, and trusted by 500K+ developers

Managed database
Prisma Postgres
Managed Postgres wired into your Prisma workflow and designed to run close to your app hosting.
- Operation-based pricing with spend limits
- A preview database per feature branch, integrated with hosting previews
- Works with any ORM if you’re not using Prisma ORM
- Query Insights built in: spot slow queries and get an agent-ready prompt to fix them

App hosting
Prisma Compute
TypeScript app hosting that runs close to Prisma Postgres, so your agent can deploy, debug, and redeploy from one workflow.
- Bun runtime on bare metal
- Co-located with Prisma Postgres for single-digit millisecond query latency
- Versioned deployments with preview URLs
- Deploy by git push or CLI
- Long-running workloads: WebSockets, cron, and background jobs coming soon
Working across the stack

Prisma Stack vs. assembling your own backend stack
Data model
Assembled backend stack
Schema, queries, migrations, and app code can live across separate tools.
Prisma Stack
Prisma schema gives the stack one shared contract.
Database
Assembled backend stack
The database is usually configured and billed through a separate provider.
Prisma Stack
Prisma Postgres is managed Postgres connected to the Prisma workflow.
Hosting
Assembled backend stack
App hosting is usually managed separately from the database workflow.
Prisma Stack
Prisma Compute runs TypeScript apps close to Prisma Postgres.
Preview environments
Assembled backend stack
App previews and database branches often need separate setup.
Prisma Stack
Prisma can connect preview deployments with isolated app and database environments.
Agent workflow
Assembled backend stack
Agents may need to move across separate vendors, docs, CLIs, and APIs.
Prisma Stack
Agents can work through Prisma schema, CLI, and Management API.
Billing
Assembled backend stack
Separate tools mean separate bills, limits, and pricing models.
Prisma Stack
Prisma brings the core workflow into one platform and one bill.
When to use the Prisma Stack
Use the Prisma Stack when you're building a TypeScript app and want your data model, database, queries, hosting, previews, and agent workflow to stay connected.
Building a new TypeScript app
Go from your schema to a database to a deployed app in one connected workflow.
Handing infrastructure to an AI agent
Give an agent a readable schema, structured CLI output, and API access to operate the stack.
Growing beyond an MVP
Start with the free ORM, then add managed Postgres and app hosting when your product needs them.
Fewer vendors to coordinate
Stop wiring together separate tools for your ORM, database, hosting, previews, and billing.
Who the Prisma Stack is best for
Prisma fits TypeScript teams of any size that want one connected backend workflow, whether a person or an agent is driving it.
Solo founders and small teams
Ship a real product without a database or ops hire, and keep building on the same stack as you grow.
Startups
Move fast with a small team on a stack that carries the product from first launch into production.
SaaS teams
Keep your app, database, migrations, previews, and pricing connected as your product grows.
Larger engineering teams
Give every engineer one shared backend workflow from schema to production.
