[Prisma Postgres](/postgres) is a production-grade, cloud-native database and is ideal for staging and production environments. For rapid iteration and isolated testing, you can run a _local_ Prisma Postgres instance (powered by [PGlite](https://pglite.dev)) via the `prisma dev` command. This page explains how to install and launch a local Prisma Postgres database.

Local Prisma Postgres is in [Preview](/orm/more/releases#preview) and is being actively developed.
