Hey Product Hunters! I am beyond excited to write this. At Prisma we’ve been working hard over the past 8 years to make it easy to work with databases, by delivering the most loved Node.js ORM on the market. We get to come to work every day knowing that we’re helping the maker community build amazing apps, and that’s a great feeling. Today we announce the next major phase of the Prisma vision: Prisma Postgres. We are using all the deep expertise we accumulated over the past decade to build and deliver the *next generation* of serverless database. It brings all the best parts of serverless, while leaving out the annoying parts (*cough* cold starts, *cough* complex pricing), and it is tightly integrated with our ORM to bring all the power right into your code editor. Add a cache strategy to a single query, with one line of code. Stream database change events with another line of code. And there’s so much more to come. Our mission remains the same: make databases easy. Now we get to do that on a whole new level with Prisma Postgres. Oh yeah, did I mention you can create tens of databases, totally free? Try it out and let us know what you think!

Finally a Postgres provider that is not only *actually* ridiculously easy to set up and use (with many other providers it's such a hassle I could just self-host at that point) but is also technologically innovative, taking advantage of the latest advancements in the virtualization technology and operating systems research to build something that is genuinely better, faster and cheaper. Congrats 🎉

The ability to fine-tune caching and stream change events directly from the code editor makes this an absolute win for developers. Great product @sorenbs! Sending wins to the whole team of prisma :)

I love that it’s free to start and you only pay for what you use—perfect for prototyping!

Prisma Postgres is going to make all of my weekend projects 10x easier to build. Really looking forward to using this as my default DB from here on out!

Congrats to the Prisma team on launching Prisma Postgres! 🚀 Seamless serverless databases with deep ORM integration - this is a huge step forward. Excited to see where this goes!

Congratulations on launching Prisma Postgres! Addressing cold starts is a significant pain point for developers. What specific strategies or tools do you have in place to ensure optimal performance as user demand scales?

An instantly available Postgres instance with a free tier and ORM integration. What could be better? 😊 🚀

Congratulations on launching Prisma Postgres! This addresses a key pain point in serverless database performance. How does the unikernel technology specifically enhance scalability and reduce latency during peak usage times?

Very exciting! Congrats on the launch @Prisma 🙌

Congratulations on the launch @Prisma ! Excited about the product. 🎈

This is a huge leap forward for serverless databases! 🚀 Prisma Postgres + Prisma ORM sounds like a dream for developers, bringing seamless DX, unikernel-powered performance, and zero cold starts. The pay-as-you-go model makes it perfect for everything from prototyping to scaling production apps. Massive congrats on the launch—excited to see how this shapes the future of serverless DBs! 🎉🔥

The pricing per query is a bit scary. But postgres+accelerate seems to have a very clear value prop! Good luck with the launch!
