Prisma - Build a GraphQL server with any database

Congratulations on the launch! The Prisma/Graphcool team has been the lead contributor to open source GraphQL which I appreciate a lot. Projects such as graphql-yoga and graphql-playground makes the development workflow so much easier. All of this in combination with Prisma will help bootstrap projects blazingly fast!

I never had a database/backend up and running so fast. Especially loving the new architecture which gives full flexibility to the developer regarding authentication of users and authorisation to change/access data. It is also easy to integrate data from other services into the own API, no vendor lock in at all!

I recently reported an issue on a Friday afternoon on GitHub and it was solved within 24 hours, which is just great.

I can really recommend Prisma!

Pros:

Super easy to get started and iterate

Cons:

No backups yet, but they are coming soon

Do you plan to support “offline first” applications? I have an app I want to save all data locally but have it replicated to the server and other devices as the network permits. Currently I think the only good options for this functionality is AWS AppSync and Realm.io. Awesome job team!

This is a powerful and huge abstraction layer between the application and the database. Definitely a must-have for most GraphQL applications. I've been able to reduce and simplify my code since I've been using Prisma. I just write my types schema and it generates all the inputs and query types, also providing the intermediate GraphQL server that integrates with the database. Amazing to see it here :)

We are using Prisma in production and we are supper happy with it. Prisma offers great flexibility in creating rich APIs. We have prisma 3 months in production and had no problems at all.

Prisma is backed by great team and provides a lot of sources in bleeding edge technology world.

Pros:

Easy to use, flexible, rock solid, offers great developer tools, good support

Cons:

I couldn't find any

Prisma is without a doubt the glue that has been missing in the enterprise technology stack. We’ve been working with the team since before they official opened doors as Graphcool and I’m happy to see them succeed with Prisma. - 4 active projects in production with Prisma (2x native iOS, 2x Web) and 2 project in development at the moment

I have followed the team pretty much since they launched the beta of Graphcool more than two years ago. Since then I've watched them iterate on the product, rewrite it, write a ton of open-source libraries, and rewrite it again to deliver the best tool to build your own GraphQL server.

The GraphQL community today stands on three pillars: Apollo, Prisma, and Facebook itself. It's amazing to see these guys evolve the product and take the company to the next stage.

Pros:

Awesome team that's heavily involved in open-source and pushing GraphQL forward.

Cons:

I liked the cool Graphcool name.

Very excited to see new DBs and reliable migrations and backups in near future! Kudos team!

Prisma is one of the best things to happen in tech this year. We've found that it allows us to focus on designing schemas and building resolvers, the fun stuff, actual GraphQL. Prisma handles the rest of the stuff that stands in the way of migrating to GraphQL. I highly recommend checking it out!

I’m not a backend developer, but Prisma made me one 😅 It’s really a life-changing product and I’m using it for most of my apps. Couldn’t recommend more! 👌
