## What it is
Prisma 1 is a deprecated database toolkit providing an ORM with auto-generated type-safe clients, declarative migrations, and a GraphQL-based admin UI for Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB. It was archived in September 2022 in favor of the successor Prisma (prisma/prisma).

## Use cases
- type-safe database access from JavaScript or TypeScript
- manage database migrations declaratively
- build GraphQL APIs backed by Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB
- administer database data through a visual UI
- replace traditional ORMs like Sequelize or TypeORM
- run a self-hosted database gateway with Docker

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing legacy Prisma 1 codebase
- studying how Prisma 1 worked before migrating to Prisma 2+

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is deprecated and archived
- needing ongoing support, updates, or security fixes
- you want the modern Prisma ORM - use prisma/prisma instead

## Facets
