Database Management with Prisma

This starter kit includes robust database integration using Prisma ORM, providing a powerful and flexible way to interact with your database. Prisma simplifies database management, migrations, and queries, ensuring that your data operations are efficient and reliable.

Key Features

1. Database Configuration:

   • Supported Databases: By default, the starter kit uses a SQLite database. However, Prisma ORM also supports many other popular relational & non-relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, MongoDB, CockroachDB and PlanetScale. You can use the database that best fits your needs by simply replacing the existing database connection variables in the .env file with your own.
   • Environment Variables: Database connection details are managed through environment variables to ensure security and flexibility. These details are stored in the .env file.

2. Prisma:

   • Schema Definition: Prisma uses a schema file (schema.prisma) to define your database models and relationships. This file is the central point of configuration for your database structure.
   • Database Migrations: Prisma provides powerful migration tools to apply changes to your database schema safely and consistently. The starter kit includes scripts to run migrations and keep your database schema up-to-date.

By leveraging Prisma's ORM, the SaaS World Starter Kit ensures that your database interactions are efficient, type-safe, and easy to manage. Prisma's powerful features simplify the complexity of database operations, allowing you to focus on building your application while ensuring your data is well-organized and secure.
