thin-backend VS Prisma

A tool like https://thin.dev/ might be good for you. You can port and serve functionality a little bit at a time into thin and use their managed postgres db and the schema editor to handle the new fields in the backend.

Check out thin.dev https://thin.dev/ It uses SQL DDL statements literally as the building blocks for everything.

Postgres database has been gaining more popularity because of its advanced database and scalability. Created by digitally induced, Thin Backend is simplifying Postgres by giving users a backend server that has an API that connects with Postgres DB. You can integrate Thin Backend with:

React for UI TypeScript for Type Safety thin.dev for Data + State management

Check out https://thin.dev/ :) It's similar, supports self-hosting and uses postgres. Quick demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jj19fpkd2c&t=3s

Real-time by default for everything is really a fun way to write web apps. A little bit inspired by Meteor we've build Thin Backend, which provides a real-time API for querying data and writing to a postgres database. If you're interested, check it out at https://thin.dev/ or check the demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jj19fpkd2c

If you're curious, give it a try at thin.dev.

In the world of software development, there are two kinds of developers: those who have never had to complain about ORMs and those who have actually used them. Whether it’s Django ORM for Python, Active Record for Ruby, GORM for Golang, Doctrine for PHP, or Prisma for TypeScript, a common issue persists: writing simple queries is straightforward, but constructing complex or optimized queries can take hours, if not days.

Support for a Union type #2505

Unfortunately Prisma hasn’t supported polymorphism yet. As such, you can't use inheritance to model the entity in the same way as in your programming language, as depicted in the above class diagram. The good news is that we could intimate it using table inheritance to imitate it.

In this project I am manually declaring the data types. For better type-safety, use Prisma, which automatically generates types based on your database schema.

When you're creating a full-stack application, you'll also need to write logic to interact with your database. For relational databases like Postgres, you can do this with SQL, or an ORM like Prisma.

Prisma is a modern TypeScript-first ORM that allows you to manage database schemas easily, make queries and mutations with great flexibility, and ensure excellent type safety.

Prisma

There have been multiple feature requests to add native support for AsyncLocalStorage to Prisma, but they haven't been met with much enthusiasm from the maintainers. Some people solved it by extending and overriding the client (which is arguably prone to breaking with updates).
