Build and Deploy a Serverless API with Planetscale and Prisma ORM

Build and Deploy a Serverless API with Planetscale and Prisma ORM In this guide we will create an API using a serverless framework called Nitric. This will use Nitric serverless functions, then use PlanetScale and Prisma for data persistence. We will then deploy the application to the cloud of your choice, AWS, GCP, or Azure.

To keep things light, the API we'll create generates memes by allowing uploads of image templates, then generating new images with overlaid text. Feel free to adapt the steps for any other API you'd like to build.

For image editing, we used a library from NPM called jimp, but you could use anything else you like.

When you're done, you'll have an API which accepts a template image and can generate multiple memes from it.
