What is Prisma?

It simplified database workflows by replacing traditional ORMs and enabling developers to build GraphQL, REST, and gRPC APIs with support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. The project has been deprecated in favor of Prisma 2.
Backend and full-stack developers building data-driven applications with Node.js or TypeScript who need type-safe database access and simplified schema management.
