What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Atlas

A language-agnostic tool that lets teams define database schemas as code, automatically plans and executes migrations, and monitors for drift. It works with multiple databases and integrates into CI/CD workflows like Terraform does for infrastructure.

Independently observed

Prisma

Leader

An integrated platform that combines an object-relational mapper, managed PostgreSQL database service, and application hosting designed to work together natively. It enables developers to build and deploy applications with type safety throughout the data layer, automated per-branch databases, and usage-based pricing.
