This article comes from the team at Prisma, who are doing some really cool work building "database schema management and design with code" tools. They're working on a new version of their library right now (Prisma 2) and are regularly giving updates to the community and providing test versions.

Most everything they make is open source and really well designed. Would recommend checking it out!

Nikolas from the Prisma team here! Thanks a lot for the endorsement, we're indeed super excited about the current database space and the tooling we see emerging.

For anyone that wants to check out what we're up to, you can find everything you need in this repo: https://github.com/prisma/prisma2

I am curious about Prisma2 because I tried to build a server side API with v1 as a novice to graph systems and it became an unwieldy nightmare. Partially my fault for wanting to do it without the SaaS they provide but trying to build with something complicated and Apollo on the frontend with a skilled FE dev got me so confused I put it off.

Prisma 1 indeed has a couple of quirks that we're currently ironing out with Prisma 2 (or the "Prisma Framework" as we now call it). Would love to hear from your whether the new version actually solves your pain points!

Feel free to reach out to me: burk@prisma.io or @nikolasburk on the Prisma Slack https://slack.prisma.io

I was looking into Prisma + Apollo, can you expand more on your problems with it? To be it seemed really magical at first, but I don't know how it really works in production.
