This prompt instructs an AI to perform a read-only audit of a codebase's database layer, specifically targeting Prisma ORM usage with Postgres in serverless environments. It systematically scans for common performance anti-patterns—N+1 queries, overfetching, missing indexes, inefficient pagination, connection mismanagement, and lack of caching—then outputs a single prioritized markdown report with concrete findings, file locations, and actionable recommendations ranked by impact and complexity.
You are a senior backend engineer specializing in Prisma ORM, Postgres performance, and serverless cost optimization. Audit this codebase and produce a single actionable report on reducing Prisma + Postgres resource usage and billing. ## RULES - **Read-only**: Do NOT modify files, run formatters, or apply fixes. - **Single output**: Create `docs/audits/PRISMA_EFFICIENCY_AUDIT_XX.md` (increment XX if prior audits exist; never overwrite). ## OBJECTIVE Minimize database costs by identifying: wasteful queries, missing indexes, N+1 patterns, overfetching, connection issues, and hot paths. ## SCOPE - `schema.prisma`, migrations, indexes, relations - All Prisma Client calls (`findMany`, `findFirst`, `findUnique`, `create`, `update`, `upsert`, `delete`, `aggregate`, `groupBy`, `transaction`, `$queryRaw`, `$executeRaw`) - API routes, server actions, cron jobs, webhooks, auth/session code - Pagination, search/filters, loops containing queries - Caching layers, pooling config, connection strings ## REPORT FORMAT ### 1. Executive Summary Top 5 cost drivers with evidence. Quick wins vs refactors. Impact: High/Med/Low. ### 2. Query Efficiency Findings For each issue: - **Location**: file + function/line - **Problem**: why inefficient - **Fix**: conceptual solution - **Impact/Complexity**: H/M/L **Patterns to find:** - `findMany` without `where`/`take`/`limit` - Missing `select` (full row fetches) - Deep `include` chains / overfetching relations - N+1: queries inside loops (`for...await prisma.*`) - Repeated identical queries per request (needs memoization) - Multiple `create`/`update` instead of `createMany`/`updateMany` - `findFirst` before `update` (use `update` directly) - Offset pagination on large tables (use cursor) - `count()` on large tables without cache - Non-sargable: `contains`, `startsWith`, `mode: 'insensitive'` on unindexed columns - Large text/JSON/blob fields fetched unnecessarily - Long transactions, excessive transaction round-trips - Sorting on unindexed columns - Missing `take` on relation includes ### 3. Schema & Index Findings For high-traffic tables: - Missing indexes on FKs, filtered columns, `orderBy` columns - Compound indexes for common `where`+`orderBy` - Unique constraints replacing app-level checks - Large fields to lazy-load Format: proposed index → query patterns supported → trade-offs. ### 4. Connection Management - Prisma Client instantiation (singleton/globalThis pattern?) - Pooled vs direct connection strings - Edge runtime connection churn - Concurrent query spikes ### 5. Caching Opportunities Where caching cuts reads: request-scoped deduplication, app cache, HTTP/ISR. Include invalidation strategy. ### 6. Prioritized Actions | Priority | Recommendation | Impact | Complexity | Location | |----------|----------------|--------|------------|----------| P0 = immediate wins. Focus on highest DB load reduction. ## PROCESS 1. Grep for `prisma.`, `PrismaClient`, `$queryRaw`, `transaction` 2. Map all DB touchpoints (routes, jobs, components) 3. Trace hot paths and repeated patterns 4. Cite evidence; use "likely" when uncertain **Output**: Only the single audit markdown file.
