Quick Start

First make sure you have Heroku-CLI and Docker and PG Admin installed

Setup a postgres server on the cloud we can use heroku postgres addon as it's have free tier to get started with postgressql. After setting up postgres on cloud change the database default in docker-compose.yml file with yours.

npm install -g prisma@1.13.4
# Install prisma-cli globally

cd prisma

docker-compose up -d
 # executing this command will fire up a docker container using your docker-compose file.

prisma deploy -e ../config/dev.env
 # Before executing this command it's recommended to change config files PRISMA_ENDPOINT to your <Application Name>/Environment by default it's set service/dev you can change it to <Application Name>/dev so we can differentiate easily later on using PG Admin after executing this command it will start a prisma server at http://localhost:4466/service/dev

prisma deploy -e ../config/test.env
 # deploying for test environment

npm install

npm run get-schema
# make sure to change .graphqlconfig file endpoint with your respective development endpoint so It can get new schema when deploy changes from prisma/datamodel.graphql

npm run test
# To check if all things are working correctly

npm run dev
# This will start a node server at PORT:4000 which talk to your prisma-graphql server which give us a great layer of abstraction to ease our development

Production Deployment

To deploy the application in production first we need to setup prisma server on cloud we can use Prisma Cloud just to do it's provide a great layer of abstraction to setup prisma server on the cloud within few click and it's come with free tier to get you started.
After deploying prisma server on cloud it change config/prod.env PRISMA_ENDPOINT with your URL

prisma deploy -e ../config/prod.env
# It deploys your prisma server on the cloud

heroku login
# login into heroku with credentials

heroku create
# create a new heroku app

git push heroku
# this will deploy your node application on heroku servers.
