Prisma Postgres is a managed PostgreSQL service for TypeScript applications and other PostgreSQL clients. It is aimed at teams building Prisma-centered applications that need standard PostgreSQL connectivity alongside developer-focused workflows. The service includes Prisma Studio, database branching for application previews, built-in connection pooling, query caching, automated daily backups, serverless and edge connectivity, and PostgreSQL extensions including pgvector. It is offered as a cloud service through web and API access, with free and paid plans.

The pricing structure scales by operations, storage, and database allowances. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 200,000 operations, 500 MB of storage, 50 databases, and no credit card requirement. Starter costs $10 per month and adds 1 million operations, 10 GB of storage, 1,000 databases, daily backups with 7-day retention, and spend limits. Pro costs $49 per month with 10 million operations, 50 GB of storage, daily backups with 7-day retention, and GDPR and HIPAA. Business costs $129 per month and includes 50 million operations, 100 GB of storage, 30-day backup retention, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.

Its strongest fit is an application stack already using Prisma or a compatible JavaScript and TypeScript database layer. Prisma ORM, psql, Kysely, Drizzle, node-postgres, and TypeORM are supported, while Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, and Deno Deploy provide documented edge and serverless integration points. Branching, pooling, caching, and Prisma Studio make the service particularly suited to preview-driven development. Teams needing point-in-time recovery, high availability, or replicas should choose a PostgreSQL provider that supplies those capabilities instead. Prisma Postgres is a focused choice for developer workflows rather than a full high-availability platform.
