I want to use Prisma or Graphcool for my API. Apparently Prisma is a better choice, but I don't want to manage infrastructure so maybe it's not right for me apparently you can deploy Prisma easily with Now (https://zeit.co/now) by zeit.co. But you still need to setup Docker etc. and container instances. so it seems like I'd have to manage all of that

You concerns are correct, but there is a solution. Current the prisma team is working cloud integration that manages this for you. Heroku one is ready you can access it at app.prisma.io and others including now are coming soon!
