https://console.prisma.ioUse create-db when you need a database immediately:
npx create-db@latest
Aliases:
npx create-pg@latest
npx create-postgres@latest
For app integrations, you can also use the programmatic API (create() / regions()) from the create-db npm package.
Temporary databases auto-delete after ~24 hours unless claimed.
Use prisma postgres link when the database already exists and you want to wire a local project to it:
prisma postgres link
For CI or other non-interactive environments:
prisma postgres link --api-key "<your-api-key>" --database "db_..."
This flow updates your local .env with DATABASE_URL, then you can run prisma generate and prisma migrate dev.
