07/26/2018, 4:05 PMYes, see https://www.prisma.io/docs/quickstart/connect and the 'Use your own database' tab
agartha
07/26/2018, 4:05 PMTL;DR: Use the connection settings to your database in the docker settings file

07/26/2018, 4:07 PMbut I want to use graphql instead of writing apis
Ibesoft
07/26/2018, 4:07 PMand I think prisma fits the job

07/26/2018, 4:09 PMSo If I define my db schema in datamodel.graphql do I need to do any other thing before the deployment ?

07/26/2018, 4:11 PMYour Prisma server needs to live somewhere, and connect to the database, that also needs to live somewhere
agartha
07/26/2018, 4:11 PMSo you need hosting for both
agartha
07/26/2018, 4:12 PMYou can use Prisma Cloud, but then your Prisma server and database will both be hosted by Prisma, or you can host your own, but then you need to host both the server and the database.
