Got it, yes Prisma is an ORM, from there site:

"Prisma replaces traditional ORMs and can be used to build GraphQL servers, REST APIs, microservices & more"

What confused me is that apart from their ORM ('Prisma') they are also offering a GraphQL server called 'GraphQL Yoga' (github.com/prisma/graphql-yoga). But then again, Yoga is again based on Apollo-Server (and a few other packages).

So yes they're marketing it as "easiest way to run a GraphQL server" but it's basically an ORM, which you can use with Apollo (server). Apologies for causing unnecessary confusion :-)
