Prisma is an absolute joke. I remember hearing so much about it with the hype train, and I looked into it, and it's an absolute catastrophe with a very beautiful homepage. There are GitHub issues where the creator is arguing with people about not supporting foreign key constraints or something, and he didnt understand the use case (cant remember specifics right now, but this is where I immediately noped right out)


Meanwhile, some companies are building products with Prisma and are enjoying their choice. I love Prisma with Postgresql and Typescript, it's a very productive tool.

My first opinion wasn't very far from yours, but then I adopted it. It has served me well after a year and multiple projects.


Prisma definitely supports foreign key constraints. I think you mean joins which they only recently started supporting.


Yes, you're right lol. Equally as bad. I actually thought it might be that but couldn't quite remember. Imagine trying to ask people for the use case of why they need joins...


WTF?
