Hi, Is it worth switching to Prisma if I'm already familiar with graphql-server-express + sequelize?

that's great. Do you have a boilerplate graphql-server-express + sequelize server?

How have you found building your own graphql server?

I don't have any boilerplate and it took quite some times to get it started.

Next thing after GraphQL part is a lot of Sequelize things. It allows me more freedom but quite tedious.

yeah I can imagine. I haven't written a GraphQL server with a db/ORM. From what I've researched it's tricky to implement all the queries when they get really deep and nested.

Prisma is fantastic and takes a lot of the hard work out from writing all the sequelize. You can map straight from graphql to db. The product has a few bumps right now which the team are working hard to iron out. It's worth learning about the tech and getting a server and up running. I've really enjoyed it.
