Audience
TypeScript and Node.js developers, AI coding agents, startups and teams that need production Postgres without ops overhead.
About Prisma Postgres
Prisma Postgres is managed PostgreSQL for TypeScript apps and AI agents. Spin up a real Postgres in seconds, connect with any Postgres client (including Prisma ORM), and scale with predictable, operation-based pricing. Built-in connection pooling, daily backups on paid plans, and a free tier to start, without serverless pause tricks.
It runs on the same Prisma platform as Prisma Compute (app hosting), so you can use Postgres alone or as the data half of one stack: one config, per-PR database branches when paired with Compute. Built for developers, teams, and AI agents: this is Prisma’s managed database, not only the ORM.

Prisma ORM
Prisma ORM is the type-safe ORM for TypeScript and Node.js, built for humans and AI coding agents. A declarative schema agents can parse, a type-safe client, and migrations with clear guardrails so agents can read your data model, plan queries, and migrate safely inside agent loops (structured errors, inspectable plans, CLI).
Use Prisma Client against PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and more without a traditional ORM maze. On the same platform, Prisma Postgres is managed PostgreSQL (instant setup, built-in pooling) and Prisma Compute hosts TypeScript apps next to that data, so agents and teams get ORM, managed Postgres, and app hosting as one story.

Amazon RDS
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you to focus on your applications so you can give them the fast performance, high availability, security and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on several database instance types - optimized for memory, performance or I/O - and provides you with six familiar database engines to choose from, including Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, and SQL Server. You can use the AWS Database Migration Service to easily migrate or replicate your existing databases to Amazon RDS.

Prisma Compute
Prisma Compute is app hosting for TypeScript apps and AI agents on the Prisma platform. Deploy Node and TypeScript services next to your data, with the same developer workflow as Prisma ORM and Prisma Postgres: one stack for code, database, and hosting.
Pair Compute with Prisma Postgres for managed PostgreSQL beside your app (connection pooling built in, free tier to start, operation-based pricing). Agents and teams get a clear path from local ORM work to production: ship the app on Compute, keep Postgres as the data layer, without stitching three vendors together. Built for modern TypeScript workloads that need predictable hosting and a database that stays close to the code.
