SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses common pitfalls and performance bottlenecks in Prisma ORM, such as N+1 query issues, connection pool exhaustion in serverless environments, and silent data loss during bulk operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema Optimization: Best practices for ID strategies, indexing, and soft-delete implementation.
  • Query Performance: Guidance on using include versus select, cursor-based pagination, and transaction management.
  • Production Safety: Critical patterns for handling migrations, error mapping, and avoiding common anti-patterns like updateMany returning counts instead of records.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to review your current Prisma schema and query logic against the production patterns defined in this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix N+1 query issues in Prisma ORM?

To fix N+1 query issues in Prisma ORM, you should use the 'include' or 'select' parameters to eagerly load related data in a single database query rather than making separate requests for each relation. This skill provides architectural patterns for optimizing query performance by correctly choosing between include and select based on your specific data fetching needs.

How do I prevent connection pool exhaustion with Prisma in serverless environments?

Preventing connection pool exhaustion with Prisma in serverless environments requires specific deployment strategies to manage database connections efficiently. This skill offers production-grade serverless deployment strategies and architectural patterns designed to handle connection pooling limits and avoid bottlenecks in serverless TypeScript backends.

What is the best way to handle Prisma migrations in production?

The best way to handle Prisma migrations in production involves following critical patterns for safe schema changes and error mapping to ensure data integrity. This skill provides production safety guidance for managing migrations and avoiding common anti-patterns that can lead to silent data loss during bulk operations.

Does Prisma ORM support cursor-based pagination and transaction management?

Yes, Prisma ORM supports cursor-based pagination and transaction management for handling large datasets and multi-step database operations. This skill provides query performance guidance on implementing cursor-based pagination effectively and managing transactions to ensure robust data integrity in TypeScript backends.

How do I implement soft-delete and indexing strategies in a Prisma schema?

Implementing soft-delete and indexing strategies in a Prisma schema requires following established best practices for ID strategies and database indexing to optimize query performance. This skill covers schema optimization patterns to help you design robust database schemas with proper indexing and soft-delete implementation.

Why does updateMany return counts instead of records in Prisma?

The updateMany operation in Prisma returns a count of affected records rather than the records themselves, which is a common anti-pattern if you need the updated data. This skill helps you avoid such common anti-patterns by providing troubleshooting guidance and architectural patterns for robust error handling and data retrieval.
