Also, I saw nexus-prisma, very useful tool, is not supporting prisma v1 on the last version. Is it safe to use it with prisma 1 and getting stuck with v0.3 of nexus-prisma ?

You have to use nexus-prisma .3 with Prisma 1. I don't now why they changed Nexus-Prisma while Prisma 2 is in Beta. They should have just make a new library for nexus-prisma2.

I totally agree. I also don't really understand the logic here. - I can't use prisma2 for production because of underlined limitations - If I go back to prisma1, I have to be stuck with an old and not maintained nexus-prisma The team seems to be on a lot of projects at the same time, but I don't feel confident with prisma as a new user right now. Do you know if Prisma is still the go to and if the team is still on it?

It's great for what it does, I use Prisma 1.35 to connect to MySQL Databases with existing data. I haven't found a new solution that as easy to use and can do what Prisma does. They do seem to be stretched too thin as every version after 1.35 will not work with existing Databases, at least up to 1.38, don't know if a new one came out and don't feel like messing around with it.
Since all my Prisma instances are managed by a master Node/Typescript server they are never directly available to clients, so I feel safe as there are not many security risks there.
They are pusning Prisma 2 heavily, but when I ask "Is it out fo beta", they say "no, don't use it in prod yet". Response, "why tell me to use it then?"
They have done some very impressive things, no one is doing yet though, so I'm gibing them time to grow as a company. Apollo basically dominates GraphQL right now and I would like to see some other players.

@Andrew O. Apollo does not have a ORM product like Prisma, am I wrong? I don't have "existing database" issues for now as it's a fresh new project for me. I finally success to setup a small FAQ entries list using prisma 1 without the nexus plugin. I'll now try to integrate it. Thanks for your time anyway! 🙂

Apollo has no ORM product. Just use nexus-primsa 0.3.x it will make life suer easy for you.
