Prisma
Definition
A modern database ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Provides a type-safe query builder, auto-generated types from your database schema, and a visual data browser.
Why it matters
Prisma makes database work in Node.js projects dramatically safer and more productive. It's the dominant ORM in the Next.js/TypeScript ecosystem.
Example
A developer uses Prisma to define a User model, Prisma auto-generates TypeScript types and a query client, making every database interaction type-safe from editor to database.
