Compute CLI

Command-line interface for deploying and managing Prisma Compute services.

Quick start

Run directly with bunx (no install required):

bunx @prisma/compute-cli --help

Also works with npx @prisma/compute-cli if you don't have Bun installed.

Authentication

Interactive login (browser-based)

bunx @prisma/compute-cli login

This opens your browser for OAuth authentication with Prisma. Tokens are stored locally:

| Platform | Path | | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/prisma-compute/auth.json | | Linux | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/prisma-compute/auth.json (defaults to ~/.config/prisma-compute/auth.json) | | Windows | %APPDATA%\prisma-compute\auth.json |

To log out and clear stored credentials:

bunx @prisma/compute-cli logout

Service token (CI / non-interactive)

Set the PRISMA_API_TOKEN environment variable. When present, the CLI skips the stored OAuth credentials and authenticates with this token directly.

export PRISMA_API_TOKEN="your-service-token"
bunx @prisma/compute-cli projects list

Commands

All commands except login and logout support --json for machine-readable output.

Deploy

Build and deploy your application:

bunx @prisma/compute-cli deploy --path ./my-app

Key flags:

| Flag | Description | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | --path | App directory (default: .) | | --project | Project ID (prompted interactively if omitted) | | --service | Compute service ID (prompted interactively if omitted) | | --entrypoint | File to run at startup, relative to --path (falls back to package.json main) | | --serviceName | Name for a new compute service | | --region | Region for a new compute service | | --env KEY=VALUE | Environment variable (repeatable) | | --httpPort | HTTP port your application listens on (default: 8080) | | --skipBuild | Deploy a pre-built artifact (requires --entrypoint) | | --timeout | Poll timeout in seconds (default: 120) | | --pollInterval | Poll interval in ms (default: 1000) | | --json | Output JSON instead of human-readable text |

Set PRISMA_COMPUTE_SERVICE_ID to skip the --service flag across all commands:

export PRISMA_COMPUTE_SERVICE_ID="your-service-id"
bunx @prisma/compute-cli deploy --path ./my-app

Environment variables

Update environment variables on a running service (creates a new version):

bunx @prisma/compute-cli env update --env DATABASE_URL=postgres://... --env NODE_ENV=production

Projects

bunx @prisma/compute-cli projects list

Services

bunx @prisma/compute-cli services list --project <id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli services create --project <id> --name my-service --region <region>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli services show <service-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli services delete <service-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli services destroy <service-id>  # stops all versions, then deletes

Versions

bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions list --service <id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions show <version-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions start <version-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions stop <version-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions delete <version-id>
bunx @prisma/compute-cli versions destroy <version-id>  # stops, then deletes

JSON output

Pass --json to any command for structured output suitable for scripting:

bunx @prisma/compute-cli services list --project <id> --json | jq '.value[].id'

Configuration

| Variable | Description | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | PRISMA_API_TOKEN | Service token for non-interactive auth | | PRISMA_COMPUTE_SERVICE_ID | Default compute service ID | | PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_URL | Override the management API base URL |

Development

bun run bin/compute --help
bun run bin/compute deploy --path .
