Best for

  • Designing type-safe data models with optimal indexes for Next.js applications
  • Optimizing slow Prisma queries causing N+1 problems in production APIs
  • Setting up zero-downtime database migrations for SaaS platforms
  • Configuring connection pooling for serverless Prisma deployments on Vercel
  • Building robust transaction patterns for multi-entity database operations

What you'll get

  • Complete Prisma schema with optimized indexes, relation configurations, and performance annotations explaining design decisions
  • Refactored query patterns showing before/after performance comparisons with specific optimization techniques applied
  • Step-by-step migration strategy with rollback procedures and zero-downtime deployment instructions for production environments
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Raw SQL database design without TypeScript or ORM layer
  • ×NoSQL database modeling (MongoDB, DynamoDB) outside Prisma's scope
  • ×Database administration tasks like backup strategies or server configuration
  • ×Writing custom database drivers or low-level connection management
Expects

Database schema requirements, existing Prisma models, performance bottlenecks, or deployment architecture details with specific use cases and constraints.

Returns

Complete Prisma schema files, optimized query patterns, migration strategies, and production-ready configuration with performance benchmarks and deployment instructions.
