Can anybody clariiy one thing for me: My objective is to use graphQL as ORM tool(as a replacement for typeorm and mongoose). So i gave prisma a try, but it seems that I need to have a prisma account for it. I want to run prisma locally with my local database rather than prisma's database. I'm following this link as a guide: https://www.prisma.io/docs/get-started/01-setting-up-prisma-new-database-JAVASCRIPT-a002/

Which step is asking you for an account? You don’t need an account to accomplish this. cc: @Harshit

You don't need a prisma cloud account. You can run prisma on docker. In the new database setup we create the database inside docker but you can also use your local database by setting the host to
host.docker.internal
which will point your machine's IP inside docker. Prisma cloud signup will give you access to demo servers and data explorer. It is not an requirement for running prisma. It is free though
