Why This Stack

Remix's loader/action pattern maps naturally to Prisma queries — each route gets its own data function with full type safety. PlanetScale provides branching workflows for schema changes (like git for your database) and scales without connection pooling headaches.

Integration Notes

1

Use Prisma's @prisma/adapter-planetscale with the serverless driver for edge compatibility

2

Set relationMode = "prisma" in schema.prisma since PlanetScale doesn't support foreign keys

3

Use Remix's loader pattern to run Prisma queries server-side — never expose them to the client

4

Use PlanetScale deploy requests to review schema changes before promoting to production
