Prisma
A TypeScript ORM that lets your app read and write a database with type-safe code instead of raw SQL.
Analogy
Like a translator standing between your app and the database so they understand each other.
Why it matters
It makes database work safer and faster in TypeScript apps, often paired with Supabase or Postgres.
In practice
prisma.user.findMany() fetches all users without writing a SQL query by hand.
