Prisma ORM Practical Design and Operations Guide

Prisma ORM is a highly productive tool, but in practice, you must consider more than just simple CRUD—including schema design, relation structures, state value design, transactions, migration management, and query performance. This course is not an introductory manual that simply lists Prisma syntax; it is a practical guide summarizing how NestJS backend developers should design and operate Prisma in real-world scenarios. It is specifically designed for those who have learned the basics by reading the official documentation but feel uncertain about the criteria for dividing models, when to use transactions, or how to apply migrations safely in actual projects. Through this course, students will go beyond using Prisma as just a "convenient ORM" and learn how to design schemas optimized for maintenance, while establishing standards to avoid common real-world issues in advance.

What you will gain after the course

  • You can design Prisma schemas from a practical perspective and determine the criteria for choosing nullable, enum, unique, and index options.

  • You can organize recurring design issues, such as relation modeling, state value design, and soft deletes, based on practical industry standards.

  • I can understand and apply transactions and concurrency issues not just as simple syntax, but from the perspectives of duplicate requests, state transitions, and idempotency.

  • You can learn the standards for applying migrations more safely by viewing them as an operational procedure rather than just a development convenience.

Prisma Practical Guide

Practical design patterns you didn't know from toy projects


Recommended for these people

Those who are using Prisma and have had these experiences

  • include is getting longer, and responses are starting to become heavy

  • I've become afraid of migrations. I've experienced a failure in production before.

  • As the number of status values increased, the service branching became too excessive.

  • Duplicate request issues occurred even while using transactions.

  • After introducing soft delete, problems arose in unexpected places.

Those who have these concerns

  • I don't know how to structure a NestJS + Prisma project.

  • There are no standards on whether to use the Repository pattern or call it directly.

  • The team needs to document the standards for using Prisma.

  • It worked fine in toy projects, but it keeps faltering in practice.


What kind of lecture is this?

This is not a lecture that explains how to use the Prisma API.

findMany, create, and update are likely things you are already using well. This course covers the next step: the criteria for judging why it should be designed that way.

  • Can you see the cost of change just by looking at the schema?

  • Is this transaction scope truly necessary?

  • Is this migration safe in production?

  • Is this query convenient now but bound to collapse later?

The goal is to become able to answer these questions for yourself.
