Prisma
Type-safe ORM. Auto-generated types, migrations, and studio.
Plain language
What is it?
A tool that makes working with databases much easier from TypeScript/JavaScript. It lets you interact with your database using code instead of SQL queries.
Why use it at a hackathon?
Instead of writing database queries by hand, Prisma auto-generates safe, typed functions so your code knows exactly what shape the data is.
Common use
Any project using a database where the team wants type safety and easy migrations — health records, education platforms, civic tools.
