Prisma Client Rust

Type-safe database access for Rust

Prisma Client Rust is an autogenerated query builder that provides simple and fully type-safe database access utilising the Prisma ecosystem. It is an alternative to ORMs like Diesel and SeaORM and tools like SQLx.

Why Prisma Client Rust?

For experienced Rust developers, Prisma Client Rust provides a consistent and understandable API on top of Prisma's powerful database technology.

For developers looking to step away from NodeJS and create faster, more efficient applications, Prisma Client Rust harnesses existing tooling and terminology that Prisma Client JS users will be familiar with, making developing applications in Rust more approachable.

Also - perhaps for the first time - using Prisma in a frontend application is easy. Using Prisma Client Rust in a desktop application powered by Tauri allows the entire Prisma ecosystem to be used while developing desktop applications.

• seunlanlege for their work on prisma-client-rs which was used while integrating Prisma's query engine crates.
• Prisma for developing a brilliant and flexible open source ORM, and providing sponsorship.
• Robert Craige for writing tests for Prisma Client Python that I have adapted.
• Spacedrive for hiring me and letting me work on this. (sure I'm a founding member but thanks anyway!)
