setup-prisma

Prisma schema bootstrap generates a service-specific schema.prisma file and database.ts configuration using your service name as the schema and two-letter code as table prefix. It creates the foundational structure with environment configuration and standard model templates ready for development or production use.

Yes. The Prisma setup configures multi-schema PostgreSQL databases where each microservice gets its own schema. Migrations are templated for both development and production environments, automating the schema isolation pattern across your services.

The generated database.ts includes Prisma Client configuration code, environment variable mapping, and connection settings tailored to your service. It handles the initialization logic so your application can query the service-specific schema immediately.

Table names are prefixed with your two-letter service code automatically during schema generation. This prevents naming collisions across microservices sharing PostgreSQL while keeping tables logically grouped by service within the schema.

Yes. The setup supports optional models beyond the standard templates. You specify models during bootstrap, and they're generated into your schema.prisma alongside the core configuration and environment setup.

Use bootstrap for rapid microservice onboarding with consistent schema structure, naming conventions, and migration templates. Manual setup makes sense only if your service requires non-standard database patterns or schema isolation different from the multi-schema PostgreSQL model.
