# Introduction to Prisma

Build data-driven applications with ease using Prisma ORM and Prisma Postgres

[**Prisma ORM**](/content/docs/orm/index.html) is an open-source ORM that provides fast, type-safe access to Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and other databases, and runs smoothly across Node.js, Bun, and Deno.

```bash
npx prisma init
```

[**Prisma Postgres**](/content/docs/postgres/index.html) is a fully managed PostgreSQL database that scales to zero, integrates with [Prisma ORM](/content/docs/orm/index.html) and [Prisma Studio](/content/docs/studio/index.html), and includes a [generous free tier](/content/pricing/index.html).

```bash
npx create-db
```
