Using Prisma with PostgreSQL in NestJS
Introduction Prisma is a next-generation ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) for NodeJS and TypeScript. It helps developers interact with databases intuitively and in a type-safe manner. Prisma possesses many outstanding advantages, including the ability to automatically generate optimal queries, automate the data migration process, provide powerful code auto-completion, and minimize runtime errors thanks to TypeScript's strict type-checking system. Compared to TypeORM, Prisma delivers a superior development experience thanks to a centralized, readable, and maintainable schema structure within a single file (schema.prisma). Instead of having to define complex Entity classes with multiple decorators like TypeORM, Prisma automatically generates Prisma Client based on the schema, ensuring absolute synchronization between the database and code. Additionally, Prisma's Rust-based query engine mechanism helps optimize data query performance with PostgreSQL more effectively, naturally avoi...
