1. Introduction to Prisma in This Project​

Prisma is employed in this project as an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) to streamline database interactions. Its type-safe client and declarative schema make it easy to manage complex data relationships and query the database without writing raw SQL. By using Prisma, we ensure type safety and code readability, reducing runtime errors and enhancing productivity.

Key Reasons for Choosing Prisma​

  • Type-Safe Queries: Prisma generates types for our data models, enabling type-safe queries.
  • Schema Management: The declarative schema.prisma file allows us to visualize and define database structures clearly.
  • Automated Migrations: Prisma’s migration system helps keep database changes synchronized with the schema.
  • Comprehensive Database Support: Prisma supports PostgreSQL, which is used in this project.
