With Prisma, we migrated a core production system from MySQL to SQL Server with zero downtime, simply by swapping a few references and updating our schema. I can't imagine building systems without it; it's instrumental to major projects at Lush.

Prisma helps us unify data access from multiple enterprise systems into a single API. It means we can move very quickly whilst staying flexible.

Prisma Postgres has really good DX. It's easy, simple, straightforward. I don't spend time on deployment. It just works.
Martin Adams
FounderFluidwave
Prisma has a low learning curve. Productivity becomes higher because it gets combined with end-to-end type-safety using TypeScript.
Ricardo Almeida
Software EngineerGrover
I have been using Prisma since day one, and it has become my number one choice for ORM. It's the default in @supastarter, and even though things like Drizzle might be more lightweight, the DX of Prisma is just unbeaten.

Prisma Accelerate handled 670,000+ webhooks from Shopify when the orders webhook from 2022/23 was fired, which cost us about $11. Not bad for accidentally being DDoS'd to a Heroku Postgres instance with zero downtime, and all the entries made it through.

Prisma spares me the hassle of keeping my database in sync, allowing me to develop my product with complete confidence.
Dries Augustyns

I like how the Prisma docs made it easy to jump straight into using it without needing to do a huge amount of reading, and I instantly felt the benefits.
Daniel Cranney

Huge fan of Prisma! The Schema file is great for Cursor. You literally never have to write a CRUD operation again.

I've been building the backend on @stockleapp, with Prisma since the beginning, and I've got to say, it has worked like a charm

I keep switching from Prisma to whatever the latest flavor is, but always end up coming back to Prisma.

Accelerate is a perfect fit for landing pages. We take advantage of caching to speed up queries and reduce latency, making them lightning-fast. This means we have a faster landing page, leading to better conversion.

I love how Prisma makes my life as a developer so easy. The TypeScript autocompletion is the best I've used, having tried many different ORMs. The migrations are a breeze. And I love how easy it is to get a full view of your database from the Prisma schema file. It's all in one place in readable format.

I love the Prisma typing system! Stack Auth relies heavily on it.

Prisma enabled me to easily manage authentication as well as users' paid status. Prisma Accelerate was a huge boost to my productivity, cutting latency issues I was encountering with Vercel SQL.

What I love most about Postiz is Prisma. It lets me switch between SQL databases effortlessly. I've used other ORMs before such as Eloquent (Laravel), but nothing matches Prisma's typing and features!
Nevo David

Prisma's typesafe SQL is a great feature. It fills a great abstraction gap that existed prior to this. Earlier, I would have to fall back straight to pgtyped.

Imagine never typing out a migration again. Yeah, that's basically what Prisma does for you. Has saved me literal hours of time, and can for you too.

Prisma has been instrumental in building ReUI, by providing a fully abstracted database layer. It accelerated our development speed several times over, letting us focus on business logic with a beautiful API and top-notch transaction support.

For myBeat, we migrated our legacy codebase to Prisma very easily using Prisma ORM's introspection feature as we were moving from CakePHP to Node.js.
