> Prisma (and Prisma Migrate) can be self hosted, so no corporate boundaries needs to be crossed.

Just to clarify: Prisma is an open-source ORM [1] that's available via an npm package, so there really isn't a component that needs to be "hosted" here. (You might be referring to Prisma 1 which came with its own DB proxy server that was run via Docker, but Prisma 2 [2] doesn't have this Docker container any more and is "just" an npm library).

Yes I was referring to Prisma 1, never looked in details to Prisma 2 because we moved to Hasura before Prisma 2 got released.

I loved Prisma 1, and probably would love Prisma 2 too, but Hasura was enabling us to query already existing databases without rewriting the schema (and having to maintain it), which was a necessity at the time.


Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying :) Prisma 2 actually is quite different compared to Prisma 1 as there's no native GraphQL layer any more and it's now pretty much "just an ORM".
