At Prisma, we’re redefining how developers work with databases. If you’re fascinated by the cutting-edge data infrastructure powering companies like Twitter, Airbnb, and Facebook—but want the agility, ownership, and impact of a fast-moving startup—Prisma is the place for you.
Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors like Amplify Partners, Kleiner Perkins, and IVP, our small, distributed team is making advanced database technology accessible to developers everywhere. Our open-source tools are trusted by over 400,000 developers each month, with a thriving community on Discord and GitHub, where we’ve earned 41,000+ GitHub Stars.
At the heart of our commercial offerings is Prisma Postgres, our flagship product designed to supercharge PostgreSQL with modern developer workflows, performance optimizations, and seamless scaling. Alongside it, Prisma Accelerate, and Studio provide a world-class toolkit for building with data.
By combining the power of open-source with cutting-edge commercial solutions, we’re shaping the future of databases—one developer at a time.
