Prioritize a user-friendly and intuitive developer experience, for example, with clear dashboards, easy navigation, and visualization tools.

Intuitive UI, UX, and DX

Ensure compatibility with popular frameworks, databases, and tools without requiring considerable tech stack changes.

Seamless integration

Offer tools to automatically monitor database performance and suggest optimizations, making it easier for developers to maintain performance  without being database experts.

Performance monitoring and optimization

Include features that handle scalability issues, such as connection pooling, caching, and sharding. Make them easy to implement and transparent to the developer.

Scalability solutions

Given the rise of real-time applications, provide utilities allowing for easy subscription to data changes, streaming, and handling real-time events.

Real-time capabilities

Facilitate data versioning and rollbacks to easily manage and correct errors, similar to how developers version and rollback code.

Data versioning and rollbacks

Offer robust security features, such as data encryption, role-based access control, and authentication integrations, so developers can confidently secure their applications.

Security and access control

Assist developers in migrating data from one environment or database to another without loss or significant downtime.

Data migration tools

Offer capabilities to query data easily using standard methods and more advanced analytics or search capabilities.

Flexible query capabilities

Include automated backup solutions and easy-to-use data recovery tools, ensuring developers can swiftly recover from potential data loss scenarios.

Backup and recovery

Consider building an extensible platform where developers can add plugins or extensions. So, new needs can be addressed even if not natively supported by the core product.

Extensibility and plugins

Given the diversity of development environments, ensure tools work across different platforms and support various programming languages.

Cross-platform and multi-language support

Provide tools for monitoring and understanding resource consumption and associated costs, particularly in cloud-based environments.

Cost management

Since most development is done in teams, include features supporting collaboration, such as shared configuration, comment annotations, and collaborative debugging.

Collaborative features

Companies creating products should consider best practices that enhance the developer's experience, making complex data tasks more accessible and intuitive.

Traditional methods for building data-driven apps are falling short. 


With increasing data complexity, developers face growing challenges in managing, integrating, and deploying data-driven solutions. 


Data operations go beyond create, read, update, and delete (CRUD). Data must be accurate yet instantly accessible and adaptable across diverse platforms and locations.

Navigating these intricacies can be daunting, often forcing developers to dive deep into learning new tech or make tradeoffs that affect application performance.


This calls for a novel approach to make data-focused development faster, simpler, and more efficient.

, we've always practiced the Data DX philosophy; it has been at the heart of our work even before it had a name.


Since Graphcool's inception and through Prisma's evolutions, our primary goal has always been to optimize the experience of interacting with databases for developers.


Today, our commitment to Data DX remains strong, and we are broadening our toolset to equip developers with solutions for the challenges of building data-rich applications.

Data DX: A manifesto for effortlessly building data-driven applications

The Data DX principles ensure developers gain efficiency, innovation, and simplicity in data-driven application development.

Data DX tools abstract away the complexities of database caching, real-time events, and more, so developers can focus on writing code and creating applications rather than getting bogged down in intricate data operations.

Enhanced productivity

Data DX tools simplify complex data workflows and reduce the need for elaborate setups so developers can speed up the development cycle. This means getting products and features to market swiftly to stay ahead in a competitive landscape.

Faster development cycles

By integrating features like type safety, development becomes not just about achieving tasks but doing so with greater convenience and pleasure. Data DX makes the entire coding experience more intuitive and enjoyable.

More enjoyable coding

Data DX enables developers to get started as quickly as possible. A combination of user-friendly UI, UX, and DX, comprehensive documentation, and tutorials do away with steep learning curves. 

Reduced learning curve

Instead of juggling multiple tools and platforms, Data DX strives for a unified, cohesive approach to working with data that developers can reuse and take from project to project, database to database.

Unified approach to data

Managing data operations beyond the basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations can be cumbersome. With Data DX, these become more intuitive, developer-friendly, and streamlined. 

Simplified data operations

Instead of delving into complex optimization processes, developers can concentrate on core development, knowing that performance is guaranteed. Features such as managed connection pooling enable developers to make sure their apps scale well and maintain high performance.

Optimized performance

A dedicated category like Data DX brings a focused community and better support. Developers can tap into shared knowledge, best practices, and solutions to common challenges.

Community and support

As with any evolving category, developers can expect continuous Data DX innovation in the form of regular updates, new features, and improvements, ensuring they always have access to cutting-edge tools and practices.  

Continuous innovation

Leveraging industry standards and existing tools, Data DX solutions are dependable, reducing the potential for bugs or data issues. 

Robust reliability

As developers spend less time grappling with complexity and more time innovating, organizations can realize tangible cost benefits.
