[Prisma Postgres](https://www.prisma.io/postgres) is a production-ready serverless PostgreSQL database with instant setup, built-in connection pooling, automated backups, and usage-based pricing, already wired to your stack.

There is no instance to size or upgrade: it autoscales with your app. You get a preview database for each feature branch, you can browse and edit real rows in the browser without setting up psql, and you can see which queries are slow and why without running your own tracing stack.

It is built for agents too: AI tools can create databases and run SQL through the Prisma MCP server, or spin one up from the terminal with npx create-db@latest, no account needed.

[Pricing](https://www.prisma.io/pricing) is per operation with spend limits you set yourself, so a quiet month costs almost nothing and a busy one never surprises you. It is [standard Postgres with no lock-in](https://www.prisma.io/postgres), encrypted in transit and at rest, with daily backups on paid plans.

It works best with the rest of Prisma: the schema you define in [Prisma ORM](https://www.prisma.io/orm) drives your migrations and your typed client, and it runs on the same platform as [Prisma Compute](https://www.prisma.io/compute).
