## What it is
Prisma Client Go is an auto-generated, fully type-safe database client and query builder for Go, part of the Prisma ecosystem. It supports SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and MongoDB, and includes a CLI for schema migrations and client generation.

## Use cases
- access a postgres database with type-safe queries in go
- alternative to gorm for database access in go
- generate a go client from a prisma schema
- run database migrations from a go project
- mock database queries in go tests
- query relational data with relations and transactions in go

## When to choose
- you want compile-time type safety for database queries in Go
- you already use the Prisma ecosystem and schema format
- you want an ORM-like query builder with relations, transactions, and raw query fallback

## When to avoid
- you plan to upgrade to Prisma v7 or later, since the Go client is deprecated and won't support it
- you need a long-term supported, production-guaranteed ORM
- you prefer lightweight SQL builders or raw SQL without code generation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, database, database-driver, cli, mocking
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: prisma, type-safe, query-builder, code-generation, schema-migrations, deprecated
