Type-safe database access for your Next.js app.
Prisma ORM provides a type-safe query builder, schema management, and migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. InBuild's own app is built on Prisma — but an InBuild-generated project doesn't ship with a database or an ORM. Add Prisma to your exported Next.js project the same way you'd add it to any fresh app.

FAQ
Is Prisma included in InBuild projects?
Not in the export — InBuild-generated projects ship with no database and no ORM. Prisma is what InBuild's own app runs on internally, and it's a solid default to add to your exported project once you connect a database, but you install and configure it yourself.
Can I use a different ORM?
Yes. The exported code is standard Next.js. Replace Prisma with Drizzle, Kysely, or raw SQL if you prefer. Most teams stick with Prisma because the TypeScript integration is excellent.
