Prisma Accelerate is a powerful tool now available in Preview, designed to enhance the speed and scalability of applications through a global cache and connection pooler. It supports 300 global locations for caching and 16 regions for connection pooling, ensuring that cached query results are served from the nearest cache node to the application server. This significantly reduces latency, making it ideal for distributed, serverless, and edge applications.
Accelerate integrates seamlessly with serverless and edge environments by providing a built-in connection pool that can be deployed in the same region as your database. This helps manage stateful connections in otherwise stateless environments, preventing the database connection limit from being exceeded during traffic surges.
The tool extends the Prisma Client with an intuitive API, offering granular control over caching behaviors on a per-query basis. Users can utilize strategies like time-to-live (TTL) and state-while-revalidate (SWR) to fine-tune cache behavior according to application needs. Prisma Accelerate also allows for the exclusion of caching to comply with regulations regarding the storage of personally identifiable information (PII).
By caching complex, long-running queries, Accelerate can boost application performance significantly, reducing response times from seconds to milliseconds, thus providing up to a 1000x speedup. This efficiency enables applications to serve more users with fewer resources, improving both scalability and performance.
Prisma Accelerate's combination of global caching and scalable connection pooling makes it a robust solution for optimizing database queries, particularly in serverless and edge computing environments.
