Zero-cost Type Safety for your Database with Prisma
summary
Demonstrates that Prisma provides zero-cost type safety by generating TypeScript types from a single schema, using Prisma schema -> codegen, Prisma Migrate to produce and run SQL, and Prisma Client for fully typed queries. Shows a working nested write that creates a user and a post, a findFirst with select that narrows the returned type, and the recent production release Prisma Client Extensions which adds a typed computed fullName field. Notes TypeScript adoption ≈50% and that code generation removes manual DTO overhead.
