Prisma
Prisma provides TypeScript infrastructure for teams building software with AI coding agents. Instead of assembling a database, an ORM, and a hosting platform from three separate vendors that were never designed to work together, Prisma combines all three into one platform: a type-safe ORM, fully managed Postgres, and TypeScript app hosting, sharing one declarative schema and one config file. The backend is the unsolved part of agentic development.
