Prisma Postgres
Serverless Postgres from the Prisma ORM team, billed on requests and compute with a pooled connection limit per plan.
- Managed databases
- Yes
- $10/month for Starter. Pro is $49 and Business $129, each including a larger request allowance.
- Not documented
Who it suits.
Prisma ORM users who want the database and the client from one vendor, with a pooled connection limit stated per plan rather than left to be discovered.
Consider something else if…
Four separate meters — requests, memory, vCPU and bandwidth — sit on top of the plan fee, so the monthly number is a floor rather than a bill.
