What it does

Prisma is a realtime GraphQL database layer. Connect directly from the frontend or build your own GraphQL server. - Compatible with existing tooling - Powerful GraphQL API - Runs everywhere

Prisma gives TypeScript and Node.js teams Prisma ORM, Prisma Postgres, and Prisma Compute: a type-safe ORM, managed Postgres, and Compute for deploying TypeScript apps, from schema to deployed app.

Give your coding agent a type-safe ORM, managed Postgres, and app hosting that work together natively. One shared context across your stack is all your agent needs to build, deploy, and iterate without coordinating between vendors. Write your data model once in contract.prisma , or have your agent write it for you. It's the shared contract your ORM, migrations, and data layer are all built around. Add Prisma Postgres and Compute when you're ready to ship. Your app and database deploy together on the same host, co-located by default. Your agent reads logs, fixes what broke, and redeploys through one CLI. The loop runs for as long as you need it to. ORM, database, and hosting designed to work…from prismagraphql.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
