🚀 Ready-to-run Prisma example projects
The official Prisma examples monorepo — every combination of Prisma ORM with a Node.js framework you might want to start from. Covers Express, Fastify, NestJS, Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix, Nuxt, and more, plus database-specific starters for Postgres, MongoDB, CockroachDB, SQL Server, and Turso. It's a reference library, not a production starter.
CI runs against every example on every push, so the examples actually work rather than rotting silently. The breadth is genuinely useful — if you're evaluating whether Prisma fits your stack (GraphQL + NestJS? gRPC? Postgis spatial queries?), there's a runnable example for it. The newer `generator-prisma-client` examples cover the still-alpha bundler variants (Webpack vs Turbopack, monorepo layout), which is hard to find documented anywhere else. Real-world project links at the bottom are honest about what people actually ship with Prisma, not contrived demos.
Most examples are shallow — a schema with two models and a handful of CRUD routes. They show that Prisma works with a given framework, not how to use it well at any non-trivial scale. There's no example covering multi-tenancy, soft deletes, or row-level security, which are the things that actually bite you. The accelerate examples all use the same quotes-app toy problem, making it hard to see how caching decisions vary by access pattern. The repo is also noticeably Prisma-Postgres/Accelerate-forward now; the non-commercial database examples feel like they receive less maintenance attention.
