Prisma Optimize Issue
My code is attached, I am fetching classes from my database which has assignments inside of it. Then, the assignments and classes are mapped in a seperate component that is inside the skeleton. Assignments are mapped inside the classes map. I'm not sure how to make this lightning fast but it sometimes takes 5 seconds to load even on production.

this video gets t1 (before the prisma call) and t2 (after the prisma call) and prints t2-t1 to see how long the prisma call took.
it usually takes the longest when I go onto the page after not being on it for a while, and takes some time when navigating to it.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights and suggestions to help optimize your Prisma query performance. However, without seeing your specific code or database schema, I can only provide general advice.
1. Query Optimization:
The slow performance you're experiencing, especially after periods of inactivity, could be related to connection pooling issues or cold starts. Here are some steps you can take to optimize your queries:
- Use bulk queries: Instead of fetching classes and assignments separately, try to use
findMany()
with appropriate include
statements to fetch all the data in one query. This can significantly reduce the number of database calls. Query optimization
- Avoid over-fetching: Make sure you're only requesting the fields you need. This can help reduce the amount of data transferred and processed.
- Add indexes: Ensure that your database has appropriate indexes on frequently queried fields. This can dramatically improve query performance. Prisma Optimize can help identify missing indexes.
2. Connection Management:
If you're creating a new PrismaClient instance for each request, this could lead to connection pool exhaustion and slow performance. Instead:
- Reuse PrismaClient: Create a single instance of PrismaClient and reuse it across your application. Reuse PrismaClient
3. Serverless Considerations:
If you're using a serverless environment, consider the following:
- Use connection pooling: Implement a solution like PgBouncer or Amazon RDS Proxy to maintain a connection pool. This can help mitigate cold start issues in serverless environments. [AWS RDS Proxy](https://github.
com/prisma/prisma/issues/13933#issuecomment-1013630350)
- Consider Prisma Data Proxy: This solution can help manage connections in serverless environments more efficiently. Prisma Data Proxy
4. Debugging and Monitoring:
To better understand and address the performance issues:
- Use Prisma Optimize: This tool can provide recommendations to identify and address inefficiencies in your queries. Prisma Optimize
- Implement logging: Use Prisma's logging features to monitor query performance and identify slow queries. Logging middleware
5. Caching:
Consider implementing caching for frequently accessed, relatively static data to reduce database load and improve response times.
Remember, the first query after a period of inactivity might be slower due to connection establishment or cold starts, especially in serverless environments. Subsequent queries should be faster once the connection is established.
If these general optimizations don't sufficiently improve your performance, you may need to analyze your specific schema, queries, and application architecture in more detail. Consider using Prisma Optimize or sharing more details about your setup for more targeted advice.Hey 👋

When I tried this I keep getting errors about edge functions, I tried accelerate but I couldn’t figure out how to get it all working
Can you share the error you received?
I get this error
this is my code
🤔 Alright, thanks for letting us know that there's still some help needed. A team member will reply to you shortly.
In the meantime, please let us know any additional info, questions, or which parts of the answer may need clarification.
Based on the error message it seems you are trying to use Prisma in edge runtime.
I tried accelerate but I couldn’t figure out how to get it all workingThe code snippet you shared doesn't seem to use Accelerate, I assume you have removed it? You would need to either use Accelerate or Driver Adapaters. Can you try using Accelerate and instantiating like this:
