Prisma Postgres is a fully managed, serverless PostgreSQL database service designed for modern application development. It features a unikernel-powered architecture for always-on performance, even after scaling to zero, and integrates tightly with the Prisma ORM for type-safe, schema-driven database access. Prisma Postgres includes a global, auto-scaling connection pooler and built-in global cache, enabling low-latency data access for users worldwide. The platform offers a hosted web interface for database management, point-in-time restore with no data retention limits, and a pay-as-you-go pricing model with a generous free tier. Developers can manage, inspect, and deploy databases directly from their code, CLI, or the Prisma VS Code extension, supporting both local development and seamless cloud deployment.
