Why on earth did Prisma take the choice to move away from a brilliant automatic GraphQL backend as a service to some kind of weird ORM?
Prisma became relevant during their Prisma 1 time, it was one of the first solutions to automatically generate GraphQL endpoints from DB schemas. It only had to keep going this way to lead the whole market. But they chose not too, and competing solutions such as Graphile beats prisma 1 so much now.
Meanwhile they have been stuck for 2 years in their new weird direction of Prisma 2, with no results to show for, and no clear vision. The GraphQL server is gone, even though it was central to their product. Who cares about yet another ORM? I can generate types from any GraphQL endpoint automatically anyway!
