Overview

AI Boilerplate uses Prisma as the ORM and MongoDB as the database.

Prisma

Prisma provides type-safe database access, automatic migrations, and a visual admin panel. It sits between your application code and MongoDB, generating a fully typed client from your schema.

MongoDB

MongoDB is a document database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents. It's well-suited for rapid prototyping and scales horizontally as your application grows.

Schema

The database schema is defined using Prisma in packages/db/prisma/schema.prisma.

This file contains the models that define the database tables and their relationships.

Prisma Studio

Run Prisma Studio to browse and edit data visually:

pnpm dev --filter @package/db

Prisma Studio can be accessed at http://localhost:5555. It will also start automatically with pnpm dev.
