Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
