You should use drizzle not prisma. Because prisma uses a rust engine for sending results so it is performance and query intensive. You should reconsider your choie

While choosing this kind of stuff keep an eye on how the community supports and available stars on Git Hub event npm package as well. We can go with a young framework and if we end up with an error there are no solutions because of popularity and wide community support it will not be a good choice. Cheers!

​@@codewithjayHi Jayy I have been using Prisma since 2021, and believe me when I say Prisma is immature at the moment, they still have a long way to go. I think most of their efforts is focused on their Data Platform software. There are basic issues that have been reported on their GitHub that they don't seem to prioritise. E.g CreateMany with nested relations, upsert many e.t.c And many others... which have been reported on their GitHub issues for almost 3 years. These functionalities exists in other ORMs like Sequelize. I am using Prisma on a large project at the moment , started around June last year and we have a lot of regrets choosing Prisma, I write Raw SQL queries a lot now , because Prisma doesn't support the kind of query we want. I'm currently looking at learning Drizzle or Kylsely at the moment because of these issues. The pros of Prisma are the DSL and types generation. And there are open source packages that integrates these aspects of Prisma with Kylsely and Drizzle. Prisma doesn't have the support that you think you do, I'm being as honest as I can be. You can do your own research through their GitHub issues. I believe switching to Drizzle or Kylsely (and utilising the model DSL and type generation of Prisma only) in later tutorials will greatly benefit you. Thank you for all the immense effort you put into these videos , I really appreciate you... they've greatly helped me. 🙏🏾

Sure! We will consider that in future videos in another series. In this series we are not focusing too much on Prisma only general use cases we are focusing on Kafka and Elastic search. Even I am not a good friend of ORM at all. Thank you.

I have considered your (@NathanielBabalola & @cinamaticuniverse2933 ) request and will implement Drizzle in the coming episodes of this series. Can you please post your actual name and city so I can mention them on the video as a gesture of thanks? Note: use Discord to send the personal info. Not here in publicly :) Cheers!
