Pardon the ignorance because the site isn’t super clear - but is this just an ORM library for the JavaScript/Typescript ecosystem? How does it “replace” a traditional ORM exactly?
- chrisco255 8y agoIt's a GraphQL ORM and it runs in it's own process on top of whatever db you have, whether Mongo or Postgres. You can use it with any programming language but I think their support is best for Node and Go.
- viksit 8y agoAh so this is similar to Hasura.
- nikolasburk 8y agoI work at Prisma, we've recently written a blog post about exactly this question where we also compare Prisma to other services like Hasura or AWS AppSync: https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-and-graphql-mfl5y2r7t49c/ https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-and-graphql-mfl5y2r7t49c/
- joshstrange 8y agoRelevant parts: > Comparing Prisma to AWS AppSync & Hasura > With the new understanding of the role of Prisma's CRUD GraphQL API, it becomes clear that Prisma is not in the category of "GraphQL-as-a-Service" anymore. > Tools like AWS AppSync and Hasura provision a generated GraphQL API for your database (or in the case of AppSync also other data sources). In contrast, Prisma enables simplified and type-safe database access in various languages.
