Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Prisma decided to solve the age-old problem of wasted time tracking down typos and errors in code with the creation of an intelligent autocomplete feature, reducing errors such as the misspelling of variable names or misplaced parentheses.

Prisma offers a database toolkit with some powerful features such as Prisma schema data modelling and Prisma Migrate for migrations. It is an open-source ORM for Node.js and TypeScript that helps developers build faster and make fewer errors: fundamentally, it's a suite of software tools for programmers.

Investment has led to further developments by the company, with the creation of a visual editor for database workflows, and the continuing support of all data sources with the creation of further connectors for a wide range of databases. Most recent funding was cited to support development of its open source tool to increase its commercial and revenue-generating products.
