Question 1

How do I set up Bemi Prisma with Express.js?

Accepted Answer

Use the bemiMiddleware to pass context from Express requests, as shown in the Quickstart—just customize the context object with user IDs, endpoints, and parameters for automatic tracking.

Question 2

Does Bemi Prisma work with raw SQL queries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it captures changes from direct SQL by connecting to PostgreSQL's Write-Ahead Log, ensuring 100% reliability even for operations outside the application, as explained in the architecture overview.

Question 3

Bemi Prisma vs manual audit logging: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Bemi Prisma automates tracking with rich context and no code changes, but manual logging might be simpler for small projects; Bemi excels for compliance and scale, though it adds dependencies.

Question 4

How to self-host Bemi Prisma?

Accepted Answer

Follow the self-hosting docs linked in the README, which involve setting up workers, queues, and a serverless PostgreSQL instance, but this requires more infrastructure management than the cloud version.

Question 5

What's the performance impact of using Bemi Prisma?

Accepted Answer

It claims high performance without affecting runtime, but there might be minimal latency from logging and worker processing, especially in self-hosted setups with resource constraints.

Question 6

Can I use Bemi Prisma with other ORMs like TypeORM?

Accepted Answer

No, it's specifically designed for Prisma integration; for other ORMs, you'd need alternative solutions or custom implementations, as Bemi doesn't support them out-of-the-box.
