Fully agree, Zapatos is super nice – and so are similar tools like pgtyped and Slonik. We actually mention all these in our docs here: https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/overview/should-you-use-... I think t

This statement is certainly provocative (great that it was the first thing picked up here :D) but I'm happy to explain our rationale for this a bit more. SQL is an impressive technology and has stood the test of time! Yet, we claim tha

Hey, Nikolas from Prisma here! Can you elaborate what exactly you mean with "GraphQL integration"? You might be referring to Prisma 1 which was a "GraphQL layer for your database". Prisma 2 (which we are referring to wit

Hey, Nikolas from Prisma here. There are quite a few other ORMs for working with DBs in TypeScript (none of them providing the same type-safety guarantees that Prisma does though [1]). In fact, we laid them out on a docs page [2] in case yo

Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying :) Prisma 2 actually is quite different compared to Prisma 1 as there's no native GraphQL layer any more and it's now pretty much "just an ORM".

Nikolas from the Prisma team here. Could you elaborate what you mean with "as a service" in this context exactly? Prisma Migrate is entirely open source and works via a CLI. My understanding of "X as a service" typically

What are the points that make you pick MikroORM over Prisma? (I work at Prisma and am always eager to learn about individual preferences of folks when it comes to choosing an ORM.)

TypeGraphQL and Prisma are not really comparable though. Prisma is an open-source database toolkit (much like an ORM), TypeGraphQL is a GraphQL schema construction library (like `graphql-js` or `@nexus/schema`), they solve very dif

Some of the ideas we've built into Prisma are certainly inspired by tools in other languages and we've looked a lot at LINQ and the C# ecosystem in general as we designed Prisma! However, I believe that one thing that sets Prisma

That's totally fair! The first version of Prisma 2.0 includes Prisma Client [1] and introspection [2]. Prisma Migrate [3] is indeed still in the works, but we've shifted our focus a lot towards it now and you can expect major prog
