#3It's been interesting watching Prisma, formerly Graphcool, transition from backend-as-a-service to open source backend to client ORM library. They also use bleeding edge patterns, so I always know where to go for examples as stuff gets adopted mainstream :) Keep up the good work Prisma team!
Question specific to this autogenerated client: does that mean I have to bump client version numbers every time my backend schema changes? Does this help if I'm building a backwards-compatible api, like Stripe's API [1]? Apologies if this is already answered in your docs.

#4I've been using Prisma in for some months now (even in production), and I'm a big fan of the product. With TypeScript you have an easy full autocompletion & type checking over your models, and coupled with a graphql-yoga server & graphqlgen for the exposed GraphQL part it has been a pretty nice experience.
The downside is (because there is always some), as it's a new tech, problems can pop up and more research have to be made compared to a more old and popular framework.
In any case, I highly recommend you to try it on your own, I'm looking foward to its futur improvements.

Because the schema is updated on the Prisma server, I do think it could be possible to have multiple Prisma server running with different schema version.
The only issue that we did encounter so far is that it doesn't know play well easily when you have more than one instance of a Prisma server behind a load balancer that your backend connect to.

Do you have examples of specific requirements for which Prisma would be a good fit?

#9I've been using Prisma for most of the last year in personal projects and I have to say it has been the absolute easiest database layer I've ever used. My development experience has been immensely streamlined.

Don't the Django ORM and Django Admin do the same thing?
