By providing a single access layer that works across databases and technologies Prisma creates what they believe to be the feature of database access and management. Prisma ships with the Prisma Client, a tool that makes it easy to reason about your database queries, so that you can focus on your data and application rather than complex SQL queries or ORM models.
