About Prisma

Prisma simplifies the creation of data-rich applications through its developer-focused products. One of its main offerings, Accelerate, acts as a global database cache that allows for scalable connection pooling, making it easier for applications to manage database connections efficiently. Another product, Pulse, provides real-time database events with type-safe subscriptions, enabling developers to respond to changes in their data instantly. Additionally, Prisma offers an open-source ORM for Node.js and TypeScript, which helps developers manage and interact with databases more effectively. Unlike many competitors, Prisma focuses specifically on enhancing the developer experience in data-driven application development, aiming to streamline processes and improve efficiency. The company's goal is to promote simplicity and efficiency in the development of applications that rely heavily on data.
