Prisma: Modern and Lightweight
Prisma is an ORM that has gained significant attention in recent times. Prisma is a modern and lightweight ORM that provides out-of-the-box support for TypeScript. Its clean and intuitive syntax, combined with its generated TypeScript types, ensures a highly secure development experience. This is particularly valuable as TypeScript has become increasingly important in modern applications.
Prisma also offers a range of additional features, such as Prisma Studio, a visual interface for your database, further enhancing the developer experience. While Prisma’s popularity has been on the rise, it is relatively newer compared to TypeORM and Sequelize, which may limit the availability of extensive resources.
Key Features:
- Strong emphasis on type safety.
- Declarative migrations.
- Supports multiple databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server.
