Get started with Prisma
Prisma is a complete TypeScript stack with one workflow: build your app and run all of it on your machine, then deploy it to the Prisma platform with one command. Check out the full-stack tutorial. Here for the ORM? Jump straight to Prisma ORM 7 or Prisma ORM 8, or check the release status first.
Define the app in TypeScript and run everything locally before you ship.
Local development One command runs your whole app on your machine, with your services on Bun wired to local Postgres and local storage, and no cloud credentials.ComposerEarly Access Declare your services and the resources they depend on: databases, jobs, buckets, secrets.ORM Model your data and query it with type safety, end to end.
One deploy provisions everything on the Prisma platform and connects it.
Compute Hosting for your services, next to your data.Storage S3-compatible object storage inside your project.Postgres Managed PostgreSQL, provisioned during setup.Deploy Ship from your terminal with Composer, from the Console, or on every push from a connected repository with a deploy workflow. Every branch gets its own environment.
One CLI serves the whole stack: npx prisma@latest drives the ORM and the Prisma platform, from migrations and local dev to deploys, databases, and buckets, for you and your coding agent. CLI reference
Every guide runs the same journey with the same commands: scaffold, connect Prisma Postgres, run a real query, and deploy. SvelteKit and Deno don't deploy to Compute yet; their guides stop at a verified local run.

If you're using Express or another Node.js server, follow the existing-project path instead.
Prisma ORM 7 remains fully supported. Scaffold it with npx create-prisma@stable, or add it to an existing project with npx prisma@prev init. It pairs with Prisma Postgres and Prisma Compute the same way. When you're ready, Prisma ORM 8 is the upgrade path.

If you already have an app or a database, or need a single Prisma product on its own, each path below has a guide to follow and a prompt to hand to your agent.
