At first, I knew nothing about Prisma. I was just struggling to set up MongoDB for my Next.js project. Then, a friend of mine told me about Prisma. That was when I started to appreciate how much effort developers put into creating such incredible libraries, frameworks, and extensions.
Imagine how hard it would've been to create a full-fledged SaaS app back in the day. No AI, no frameworks, or anything like that—just pure JavaScript or maybe PHP.
The prisma.schema file is amazing. It looks really clean, and it also generates TypeScript types for you! A good example is:
const prisma = new PrismaClient();
const posts = await prisma.posts.findMany();It's so simple to use Prisma to work with multiple databases. If I tried to do this without Prisma using MongoDB, it would've been a lot more complicated.
