Prisma is a cool tool. I've used it several times for small projects. One thing to be aware of is the auto generated database code. I had a project requiring paragraphs of user input and the field was apparently limited to 120 characters. We didn't notice it for months until the input started getting cut off. Due to some other project requirements I ended up taking Prisma completely out. It wasn't right for the project so I didn't look at configuring it to accept larger input. So just make sure you understand what Prisma is doing in the background and don't just assume it's doing what you expect. Good luck on your project!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll make sure to look into it.
