Building a scalable MVP means catching errors early. The most dangerous errors are the ones you don't find until a user hits them in production—often database-related. Prisma solves this by bringing type safety to your entire data layer.

The Prisma Magic: Generated Types

After defining your schema, Prisma generates TypeScript types based on your database models. If you try to query a field that doesn't exist, your code editor throws an error before you even compile.

This practice is integral to the "Clean Code" philosophy we follow (read more about this in "Clean Code" for Startups: Why It Matters from Day One).
