Prisma

Having taken a couple of services to production with self-hosted Prisma on AWS, I was waiting for it to officially release. I had a lucky chance to use this in beta for a few weeks and I can vouch for this product.

Prisma cloud adds a lot of features on top of the Prisma database API layer

like monitoring and data exploration that makes taking it to production even easier.

What I love about Prisma (the DB API layer) is that it is truly tech first with most of the core design decisions happening on Github, one can quickly understand where the whole project is going.

Another amazing thing about Prisma is that it programming language and technology agnostic, and unlike other platforms there is no vendor lock.

Lastly, a feature that I would want in Prisma cloud is a serverless application server (currently, we build it with technologies like graphql-yoga and host it with maybe zeit's now or on AWS) BUT I can totally see a future where Prisma cloud and become a headless product platform (not just a headless CMS) where you have the availability of various templates to start from and you could build your business on top of it without having to manage any infrastructure.

Prisma absolutely revolutionized the way we build products at MarketMuse. It has freed our teams from endless conversations and enabled us to just start building. Every new project I start will be using Prisma in the future and then leveraging the power of the Prisma Cloud platform to take all of the annoying work off my plate and let me focus on what my team and I do best.

I used Prisma cloud for 3 weeks and was amazed how good it is. I participated in beta and was satisfied how good support Graphcool provides for Prisma cloud. UI of prisma cloud is super easy to grasp even for not technical users. Everything is included and you don't need to take care of your prisma instance.

I have followed the team pretty much since they launched the beta of Graphcool more than two years ago. Since then I've watched them iterate on the product, rewrite it, write a ton of open-source libraries, and rewrite it again to deliver the best tool to build your own GraphQL server.

The GraphQL community today stands on three pillars: Apollo, Prisma, and Facebook itself. It's amazing to see these guys evolve the product and take the company to the next stage.
