Prisma Postgres — The future of serverless databases
Prisma Postgres is a game-changing new serverless DB — tightly integrated to the Prisma ORM for amazing DX, and built with unique unikernel tech to eliminate cold starts. Start for free, only pay for what you use — prototype, launch, and scale with Prisma.

@sorenbs How does it handle scaling under high traffic—any built-in optimizations for performance spikes?
@masump - great question! Currently Prisma Postgres allocates a fixed amount of compute to your database. We are working on a system to automatically allocate additional compute for each concurrent request. We will release a blog post with all the details when this goes live.
@sorenbs Congrats! A powerful and efficient tool for managing multiple databases seamlessly.
The ability to fine-tune caching and stream change events directly from the code editor makes this an absolute win for developers. Great product @sorenbs!
Sending wins to the whole team of prisma :)
The pricing per query is a bit scary. But postgres+accelerate seems to have a very clear value prop! Good luck with the launch!

@koslib Hey Kostas! Thanks for the comment, we also include controls to be able to stay on top of your budget. We heard numerous times that people want flexibility and easy scaling, as long as they don't get surprises on their bill.
We're doing something rather new with this, trying to build a model that creates the *very best* DX -- so we'll be keeping a close eye on things to make sure it's received that way. Your feedback helps us do that -- thanks! 🙏
Thanks Kostas!
We had a long conversation about this on Twitter just today. Worth a read: https://x.com/sorenbs/status/188...
tl;dr: We allocate additional compute per query, and if you run really complex queries, they will get slow. We provide you the tools needed to optimize. We think this is a better trade-off than billing you an arbitrary amount.
Congratulations on the launch @Prisma ! Excited about the product. 🎈
An instantly available Postgres instance with a free tier and ORM integration. What could be better? 😊 🚀
Congratulations on launching Prisma Postgres! This addresses a key pain point in serverless database performance. How does the unikernel technology specifically enhance scalability and reduce latency during peak usage times?
Finally a Postgres provider that is not only *actually* ridiculously easy to set up and use (with many other providers it's such a hassle I could just self-host at that point) but is also technologically innovative, taking advantage of the latest advancements in the virtualization technology and operating systems research to build something that is genuinely better, faster and cheaper. Congrats 🎉
This is a huge leap forward for serverless databases! 🚀 Prisma Postgres + Prisma ORM sounds like a dream for developers, bringing seamless DX, unikernel-powered performance, and zero cold starts. The pay-as-you-go model makes it perfect for everything from prototyping to scaling production apps.
Massive congrats on the launch—excited to see how this shapes the future of serverless DBs! 🎉🔥
Launching soon!
Congrats to the Prisma team on launching Prisma Postgres! 🚀 Seamless serverless databases with deep ORM integration - this is a huge step forward. Excited to see where this goes!

@yansoul Yesss that's right! What will you build with Prisma Postgres? :)
Congratulations on launching Prisma Postgres! Addressing cold starts is a significant pain point for developers. What specific strategies or tools do you have in place to ensure optimal performance as user demand scales?
