The Rise of Prisma and Postgres
Prisma has emerged as a leading ORM in the TypeScript ecosystem, allowing developers to model data schemas and interact with databases similarly to GraphQL. This transition began as a response to user needs and feedback, highlighting the importance of data abstraction for effective database management. With over a million developers utilizing the Prisma ORM, a significant majority are now opting for Postgres, which has seen a consistent rise in popularity for its extensive features and community support, particularly among developers who do not require the complex scaling offered by other platforms. The telemetry data collected from Prisma users shows that more than 60% are leveraging Postgres, underlining its dominance in the current database landscape.
