What is it?

Prisma Examples is a repository of runnable sample projects for Prisma, the TypeScript-first ORM for Node.js. Each example lives in its own folder with its own setup instructions, so you can pick the stack closest to your own and run it locally.

The examples cover fullstack frameworks such as Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, and Remix, backend REST and GraphQL servers built on Express, Fastify, NestJS, Hapi, and Koa, and database-specific setups for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, CockroachDB, SQL Server, and Turso. It also includes examples of Prisma Accelerate for connection pooling and caching, and of deploying to Prisma Compute.

The repository also links to production projects and starter kits built with Prisma, giving a reference point for larger applications.
