This company is based on an ORM library? How do they make money?

[SPBS]

The same company that stopped officially maintaining their golang library when it wasn't getting "the growth we were hoping for".

Hahaha that's great.

One of the comments there made the excellent point that the lib was still 'early access' which most mature devs wouldn't use for production. Maybe if it was 1.0.0 prod-ready, use would have skyrocketed but Prisma would never know that.

They offer a proxy service for connecting to your relational database from server-less environments like lambda

[OJFord]

Hosted database SaaS, with the (free) library somehow integrated.

What is the unique thing they offer that no other company can offer?

[ushakov]

Prisma, being the most popular ORM at the moment, gives you a lot of leverage and opportunities for vertical integration

[debug-desperado]

More popular than Hibernate and Entity Framework (both free)?

I doubt it.

[mhio]

Popular in the Typescript/Javascript world.

So basically, it's just a deployment-ready synergy provider?

[revskill]

Typescript code generation from db :)

Looking at other popular JS projects, they monetise by basically creating a ‘cloud’ offering which is just re-selling AWS resources in a highly specialised way.
