Episode notes

The Prisma. library is indeed generated from your Prisma schema and it's put into your node modules by default so it's a little bit different the way how it works under the covers then traditional NPM packages. You just import the Prisma client constructor you instantiate your Prisma client and then you can start sending queries against your database against the models that you've defined inside of your Prisma Schema. The cool thing about this query experience now is that it's also completely type safe with Prisma.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Nikolas Burk from Prisma about the role an ORM plays in a tech stack, how Prisma has changed over the years, ways to query data in Prisma, and how migrations work with Prisma.
