I havent been following closely, but Prisma just landed $40m series B, & their announcement describes it as an intent to grow into an "Application Data" platform. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31251167

So I think what they are talking about with platform here is just more and better tooling above the data store - like the prisma studio product for a uniform interface to data for different teams, abstracted above the detail of the specific store etc. So not just an ORM on the techincal level but that same sort of idea on a business level perhaps.

I don't see anything in there about this including plans to build their own native data store. Nor do I suspect that would be a great idea (really really hard, not their competency, nor their point of leverage!)
