PrismaWhat it is, and why it's in our toolbox
Type-safe database toolkit: schema as source of truth, diffable SQL migrations, a client that errors when data contracts lie.
Why Chimbuk uses it
Pairs with our handover rule — a new backend dev reads one schema file before the standup ends. Migrations reviewed as code, always.
How we work with it
The working rule on every engagement: a technology stays only while it pays rent — in developer speed, runtime performance, hosting cost or hiring availability for your future team. Prisma passed that test; the written case for it (and its honest trade-offs) goes into your project's decision log, so nobody has to reverse-engineer the reasoning after handover.
In this studio today
You can see prisma doing real work on this very site and across the Concept Lab demos — including the CSS-rendered device screens on /concepts — and, where it concerns shipped product, in the verified work ledger under our own Google Play label.
