Expert Prisma Code Review for AI-Built Apps
Prisma is the most popular TypeScript ORM, used by AI tools to generate database queries with type safety. However, AI-generated Prisma code frequently has N+1 query problems, missing indexes, and raw query injection risks.
Common Prisma issues we find
Real problems from Prisma codebases we've reviewed.
N+1 query problems
Fetching a list of records then querying relations individually in a loop instead of using Prisma's include or select to load them in a single query.
Raw query SQL injection
Using $queryRaw or $executeRaw with template literals that interpolate user input instead of using Prisma.sql tagged templates.
Missing relation indexes
Foreign key columns and frequently filtered fields missing @@index declarations in the Prisma schema, causing slow queries.
Overfetching with select/include
Queries that load all fields and all relations when only a few are needed, transferring unnecessary data from the database.
Migration conflicts
Prisma migrations drifting from the actual database schema, causing deployment failures or data loss during migration.
Connection pool exhaustion
Default connection pool too small for serverless environments, or too many Prisma Client instances created instead of sharing one.
Prisma production checklist
Key checks before deploying your Prisma app.
No N+1 queries — relations loaded via include or select
Raw queries use Prisma.sql tagged templates (not string interpolation)
@@index on all foreign key and frequently queried columns
Single Prisma Client instance shared across the application
Connection pool size configured for deployment environment
Migrations tested on a staging database before production
Select only needed fields to avoid overfetching
Prisma schema matches production database (no drift)

Frequently asked questions
Is Prisma the right ORM for my project?
Prisma is excellent for TypeScript projects — it provides type-safe queries, auto-generated types, and great migration tooling. If your AI tool already generated Prisma code, the key is optimizing the queries it wrote, not switching ORMs.
Why are my Prisma queries slow?
The top causes are N+1 queries, missing indexes, and overfetching. We profile your queries, add proper includes, create indexes, and use select to fetch only what you need.
How do I fix Prisma migration errors?
We resolve schema drift, fix conflicting migrations, and set up a proper workflow with staging database testing before production deploys.
Can Prisma handle high traffic?
Yes, with proper configuration. We tune connection pool sizes, optimize queries, add caching where appropriate, and configure Prisma for your deployment environment (serverless, containers, etc.).
