Rapha, a cycling apparel and community brand, uses Prisma ORM to manage data for their iOS and Android mobile applications. Their mobile stack combines PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS, Prisma 2, Nexus Schema, and Apollo Server to deliver a GraphQL API. Prisma serves as a single source of truth for data models, enabling safe schema changes via Prisma Migrate integrated into their CI/CD pipeline. The abstraction layer also gives Rapha flexibility to swap or add data sources in the future without disrupting the developer experience.
