The Prisma team has done work that is part of the recent releases that specifically addresses this issue: https://prisma.io/changelog#log2025-08-27

Browser users are not (by default) Atlassian ICPs so IMO there's zero lock-in. I am going to most likely change my browser very shortly because I don't see Atlassian building out Arc. TBC raised $50M, they and their investors got a good return in a short amount of time. This chapter is now closed.

Details on the price Atlassian paid: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/04/atlassian-the-browser-compan...

Zen does not handle tab sharing (when using Google Meet) gracefully. That's the only major blocker left.

We're going to be rolling out Prisma Studio as a VS Code extension soon!

Prisma Postgres is also an option to dig into: https://prisma.io/postgres

Give Prisma Postgres a shot? https://prisma.io/postgres (I work for Prisma)

Most likely not free. Regardless, happy to see this be announced!

Perhaps this information will be helpful context for you and for anyone else who happens to land on this post: - https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-orm-now-lets-you-choose-th...

Fair points... updated the headline so that it is not misleading.

Nice write-up!

Would be curious to hear your thoughts and experience with the new Prisma Postgres offering: https://prisma.io/postgres

Nice! What's the tech stack?

You can also "talk/chat" with ChatGPT on WhatsApp by sending a message to the same number.

OpenAI went from open-source "lets create AI to save the planet" to for profit "lets make weapons smarter" real quick!

Correct.

Focusing on a single db was not the original intent as migrations was a big reason why the ORM product category became (and still remains) popular.

As for performance, you are right. We do take a hit when trying to support as many DBs as possible. However, performance is not an issue. Take a look at https://benchmarks.prisma.io. Regardless, we're always open to being given examples whereby we can dig into performance related issues. So if you have any, please send them our way.

I achieve the same (and more) on my control4 system through programming.

yeah, got rid of FB years ago... was a good choice.

Yeah. Spending time here over the past few days. Seems less... toxic

Yep, I can totally see how that may come across. Hopefully, once we publish our process, all of this becomes clear and the community can be part of the selection process itself.

Cloudflare announced Hyperdrive on September 28, 2023

Prisma announced Accelerate on January 16, 2023

But you are right, they are close in functionality though Hyperdrive requires a CF Worker to operate.

If you mean beyond the product page and our docs, then no. Accelerate is not an OSS product from Prisma.

All that being said, if there are specific questions that you have which relate to a use case, ask away!

Thanks for the feedback!

Great point! We'll be taking all of that into account. The idea is not to make this a breaking change as a lot of community work went into the various lang support modules that are available.

Partly this is what makes this a fun and interesting challenge that goes beyond just the tech and the team is eager to get their hands dirty to solve this. For now, lots of ideas on the board. Once we have a plan, we will start to share in order to get community feedback.

It's still there, albeit not for long.

There were ample reasons in the past whereby going down this path made architectural sense. The primary one being multi-language support. Since then, TS and JS have found their way to the top of "the programming langs of choice" charts and so we're digging into removing the Rust based components and making them optional.

We'll share more on this in the coming weeks.

- autoscaling - connection pool size limits - query limits - multi-region support out of the box

more here: https://www.prisma.io/docs/accelerate/connection-pooling

also recommend trying out the Accelerate speed test to get a "feel for it": https://accelerate-speed-test.prisma.io/

Yes

The challenge, as we see it, is not that we didn't address open issues (we've put out a release every 3 weeks for the past 4+ years!), the challenge instead is that we didn't explain how we pick the issues that we do to work on. That is being addressed and you'll soon see us share our process transparently.

With close to 400K monthly active developers using our library and over 9M monthly downloads on NPM, one can imagine that the issues keep piling up!

While in EA (early access), there's no additional cost of Prisma Postgres, you're effectively getting a free Postgres db.

The pricing you are citing is for Accelerate, which does advanced connection pooling and query caching across 300 POPs globally.

All that being said, we'll def address the "can you pls make Prisma Postgres pricing simpler to grok?" question before we GA this thing. Thanks for the feedback!
