🛠️ Prisma Postgres Setup Guide

1. Create a Prisma Postgres instance

Create a new Prisma Postgres database instance:

1. Go to Prisma Console.
2. Click New project to create a new project.
3. Enter a name for your project in the Name field.
4. Inside the Prisma Postgres section, click Get started.
5. Choose a region close to your location from the Region dropdown.
6. Click Create project to set up your database.

2. Add the Prisma integration token to Netlify

When you created the site with this template, you already installed the Prisma Postgres extension in your Netlify account. Next, you need to copy Prisma's integration token into the extension in your Neltify Dashboard:

1. In the Prisma Console, navigate to the root of your Workspace and click the Integrations tab in the left-hand sidenav.
2. In the Configure Team settings section, click the Generate integration token button.
3. Copy the generated token, you now need to add it to the team-level extension configuration in your Netlify account as described in the next step.
4. In your Netlify account, click the Extensions tab in the left-hand sidenav and navigate to the installed Prisma Postgres extension. Then find the text field for the Integration token, paste the token from the previous step into it and click Save.

3. Connect Netlify site with Prisma Postgres instance

In this step, you will connect your Netlify site with the Prisma Postgres instance you just created:

1. In your Netlify Dashboard, click on the Sites item in the left-hand sidenav and click on the site that was deployed with this template.
2. In the Extensions section, click on Prisma Postgres.
3. Find the Project dropdown and select the one project created in Step 1 before.
4. In the next two dropdowns for Production environment and Preview environment select Development. Then click Save. (At this stage, you can theoretically connect different database instances to the different environments in Netlify. For the purpose of this demo, we are just connecting both environments to the Development database in Prisma Console).

4. Re-deploy the site in Netlify

Your site is now fully configured to load data from the Prisma Postgres database you just created, the last thing you need to do is re-deploy the site via the Netlify Dashboard.

1. In your Netlify Dashboard, click on the Sites item in the left-hand sidenav and click on the site that was deployed with this template.
2. Find the Project dropdown and select the one project created in Step 1 before.
3. Click on the Deploys tab on the left, click the Trigger deploy button, and finally click Clear cache and deploy site.

Once the deployment is ready, you can click on Open production deploy and use the app by creating users and posts via the UI 🎉
