Prisma Reviews

Their functionality of database innovation is the world of Javascript and Typescript

It cannot be easily understandable by other not technical folks

Providing nxt gen ORM and visual db browser with easy integration and support to many databases.

Prisma cloud's ease of setup with your infrastructure was the easiest. Prisma cloud UI is user friendly and easy to explore, browse through various functions.

Ability to connect with a few of the repositories.

Prisma was able to deal with all of our containers scanning and provide with detailed summary of the vulnerabilities. It's ability to integrate with the jira is nifty for creating instant tickets through the Prisma UI.

The recently developed Prisma migrate feature is awesome and helpful. We can maintain a single source of truth, the schema and all changes can be migrated to the database safely

Prisma loses for some complex query like if I need to calculate the rank of a row, that we need to calculate using raw query but that they will fix very soon, I believe.

The best TypeOrm I can suggest to somebody for Postgres, user friendly and well documented.

The one problem that I am solving with prisma is database migration. It helps us as a Typeform almost completely, and Prisma also provides a studio to visualize data and relations

The community when it comes to query options and the ability to connect with data repositories. I find help in the Slack community where I find information.

It is more beneficial if there was a support team to promptly solve any issues.

Prisma.io solves the problem of managing databases by providing a to use platform. It has had an impact, on my business by simplifying our data management process.

By using the browser to handle databases rather than having to install a toolkit, I can access the database from any place and on any device with just my login information. Given that it makes use of a type-safe query builder, this method not only gives me universal accessibility but also enables me to quickly address any application-related issues.

There is room for improvement in the documentation on query options. Despite the large number of query options, finding them might be very difficult.

Convenience of accessing and executing operations on my cloud database through an endpoint.

I love that I can create a SQLite DB schema with all relations, foreign keys, etc a breeze! Migrations made easy. They Query language is very robust and the Slack community is fantastic and responsive. The CLI and CLI documentation covers a lot of cases including solving known issues.

The documentation on querying options could be a little better. There are tons of query options available but really difficult to find. Mostly have to rely on the Slack community to get detailed information on this.

The support is limited to the Slack community.

I was able to deploy a production SQLite database with very little setup. The CLI provides all the necessary commands to handle migrations, resets, and helps solve issues.

Database management in browser instead of installing toolkit this way i could access anywhere and on any computer just credentials are required.

It saves me time for resolving any issues for my application as its a type-safe query builder

Setting up multiple records from another table to my record in current table sometimes hung up the service because of that action.

Whenever I face an issue I couldn't find a proper support from Prisma.There should be some session management if incase of idle actions should logout the user.

If you are beginner or not a big fan of database but you require for applications Prisma toolkit has a simple understandable user interface and provides excellent scalability for your applications at cheaper cost so I suggest others to go ahead with Prisma

comparative to other database toolkits they required a lot of configuration and to integrate with my application I need proper drivers to be installed this means a lot of trouble but with Prisma i could simply create a service and fulfil my database requirements easily.

Other benefit i really felt good is i could access and perform actions in my cloud database with help of end point.

Ease of use, type safety,databse agnostic,schema migrations, performance, community, inegrations active developments.

These are some advantages of prisma.io

Which beats its competitors

It has a leaning curve. Not easy without any prior knowledge.

Performance in complex queries is bad. It takes a big hit then.

Data migration is a challange and will require custom solutions.

Prisma's strong typing system ensures that data is handled in a type-safe manner. This reduces the likelihood of runtime errors related to data type mismatches, enhancing code reliability and maintainability.

its seamless integration with various databases, its powerful ORM capabilities, and its intuitive schema modeling, making database management and querying incredibly efficient and developer-friendly.

One thing I disliked about prisma.io is the documentation.

Prisma.io solves several common problems in database management and ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), benefiting developers in multiple ways:

1. Simplified Database Interactions: Prisma.io provides an intuitive and efficient way to interact with databases, abstracting away the complexity of writing raw SQL queries.

2. ORM Capabilities: Prisma.io offers powerful ORM capabilities, enabling developers to work with their database using familiar object-oriented programming paradigms.

3. Querying Flexibility: Prisma.io facilitates complex querying with ease. It supports various querying methods, including filtering, sorting, pagination, and aggregation, allowing developers to retrieve precisely the data they need from the database.

4. Schema Management: Prisma.io provides a declarative and version-controlled approach to database schema management.

When I used Prisma with typescript, the table's schema looked too clean and easy to understand. As a developer, I found it very convenient to use.

They don't support MongoDB. Mongo is one of the best NoSQL databases; they should have provided support with this.

In one of our projects, we wanted to deliver ASAP, and all the senior devs were busy with diff projects, so we gave the job to the newcomer. Prisma is very easy to understand and easy to set up. So it really helped us to deliver it on time.
