Prisma provides TypeScript infrastructure for teams building software with AI coding agents. Instead of assembling a database, an ORM, and a hosting platform from three separate vendors that were never designed to work together, Prisma combines all three into one platform: a type-safe ORM, fully managed Postgres, and TypeScript app hosting, sharing one declarative schema and one config file. The backend is the unsolved part of agentic development. Agents can write the code, but deploying, managing infrastructure, and iterating across the full stack still means a developer manually coordinating between tools. Prisma closes that gap. A structured CLI and a Management API with full CLI parity give agents a predictable, parseable surface to drive the whole loop: initialize a project, define the schema, deploy, read logs, fix, and redeploy, all without a human in the middle of every step. The platform is built on the most trusted name in the TypeScript database ecosystem. Prisma ORM holds roughly 28% market share, serves more than 500,000 monthly active developers, and has over 45,000 GitHub stars. That same schema-first, type-safe approach now extends across the database and hosting layers. What's included: - Prisma ORM: open-source, type-safe ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript, with a generated client and migrations. - Prisma Postgres: fully managed PostgreSQL with operation-based pricing, spend caps, and free branching. - Prisma Compute: TypeScript app hosting built natively alongside Prisma Postgres, with near-zero cold starts. - CLI + Management API: the agent interface, with structured output and full CLI/API parity. - Prisma Studio: a visual data browser built into the Console. Prisma is for developer-led startup and SMB teams building on TypeScript with agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. * * * Seller [Prisma](https://www.g2.com/sellers/prisma) Discussions [Prisma Community](https://www.g2.com/products/prisma-prisma/discuss) Overview by Martin Janse van Rensburg Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Snowflake](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Snowflake") Snowflake 4.6/5(764) ](https://www.g2.com/products/snowflake/reviews) [ ![Supabase](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Supabase") Supabase 4.6/5(169) ](https://www.g2.com/products/supabase-supabase/reviews) [ ![Microsoft SQL Server](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Microsoft SQL Server") Microsoft SQL Server 4.4/5(2,287) ](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-sql-server/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/prisma-prisma/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 12 real user reviews.
