- dyeje 6y agoI inherited TypeORM and I've used Sequelize in the past. I looked at Prisma out of curiosity. My main concerns were: 1. Focus on integrating with tech I don't care about (e.g Next.js, GraphQL). 2. Don't understand the business model. Seems like you want to lock folks into your ecosystem and then start charging for the surrounding products (e.g. Studio, Migrate).
- nikolasburk 6y agoNikolas here, I'm Daniel's (2color) colleague :) quickly want to follow up! > 1. Focus on integrating with tech I don't care about (e.g Next.js, GraphQL). Just to clarify, we don't focus on any particular stack but Prisma can be used with any framework/library you like! Would love to learn more about what exactly gave you the impression that we'd focus on Next.js and GraphQL so that we can make sure folks don't misinterpret this in the future :) > 2. Don't understand the business model. Seems like you want to lock folks into your ecosystem and then start charging for the surrounding products (e.g. Studio, Migrate). We are commercial open source company, similar to companies like Hashi, Vercel or Gatsby. It's not a secret that we are a VC backed company and will need to make money eventually. In fact, we're currently working on a first version of a commercial cloud product that, among other things, will enable developers to collaborate better when using Prisma's open source tools in their projects. This commercial offering will be primarily targeted at teams and larger development organizations. Nonetheless, the open source tools remain the core of our business and we're investing a lot of time and energy into them. Nobody will be forced to use the commercial services if all you need for your app is an ORM :)_
