site: /compute claims pass with the entity line, an FAQ and compare links

[gregory-boch-prisma]

Summary

PR B of the entity freeze: the /compute product copy, behind the Compute PM ack. Every product sentence in compute.ts, and in the eight illustrations this PR touches, now has a docs or pricing line behind it (block at the end). The page also gains the sections the brief asks for. The shared platform-stack.tsx section that /orm, /postgres and /compute all render is not part of this pass (see "Not done here").

Rebased onto main on 2026-10-05, after #8355, #8360 and #8364 merged. The Compare and FAQ sections now reuse the components and types #8360 put on main for /postgres.

• Entity line. The hero subheadline is the first sentence of the shared wording. The microline carries "Generally available since August 2026. Free plan, no credit card." The meta description and the .md rendition's description carry all four sentences verbatim. The fourth sentence ("Any Postgres client works; Prisma ORM is optional.") is verbatim only there; the one-platform card and the FAQ say it in other words. /postgres on main puts all four sentences in the subheadline. Say if /compute should match.
• Removals, no new numbers. Gone from compute.ts, the eight illustrations and their aria labels: "the easiest way to host", "microsecond", "same machine", "no code changes", "every PR" / "per-PR", "branched from production", "branched together", "deploy it as it is", "long-running" / "long-lived", "durable memory", "low-latency queries", "skip the cross-vendor network hop", "services auto-detected", "cron + background jobs", "WebSockets", and the "health check / 200 OK" step of the deploy illustration. The cron card is dropped outright: cron scheduling is not in this release and there is no committed Compute config file. The configJobs illustration stays registered for a Composer scheduled-jobs card if the PM confirms one; it renders nowhere today.
• Previews stated honestly. "Set up deploy on push, and every pushed branch gets a preview with its own database", torn down when the branch is deleted. A database typed by a Prisma ORM contract gets its migrations applied on deploy; one declared with rawPostgres() keeps your own migration step. Nothing says production data is copied.
• Existing repos stated honestly. "Add a Composer declaration (service.ts and module.ts) around the server code you already have, then deploy". The FAQ names the porting guide's agent prompt and says "Run your build, then deploy with npx prisma deploy module.ts", because deploy does not build.
• Exit line appended to the platform section, verbatim from /postgres: "Standard Postgres underneath: leave with pg_dump; the Composer module is a TypeScript file in your repo, not a runtime."
• Compare Prisma. The shared reading list from site, docs, blog: one positioning sentence, Compute GA notes, a /postgres FAQ and Compare Prisma links #8360 (sections/compare-links.tsx), under this page's own intro sentence. It is the same list /postgres and /pricing show: four comparison posts and the import guide. This PR does not change the list.
• Five-question FAQ as visible text, no FAQ schema: existing GitHub repo, what Compute does not do, do I need Prisma ORM, Prisma Cloud, what it costs (Free with no usage billing; "Starter is $10 a month base plus metered compute", never "covers app and database"). Answers are plain strings, the shape /postgres uses, so they carry no links. Three answers name the page to read in words (the porting guide, the Compute FAQ, the pricing page). /compute therefore has no link to /docs/compute/faq or to the porting guide.
• Trust line as the closer's fourth benefit, built from every entry of siteConfig.proof, the way the homepage hero builds its line. It renders "Trusted by 500,000+ developers · 46,500+ GitHub stars".

What the rebase changed

• Dropped this PR's duplicates. product-compare.tsx, product-faq.tsx, ProductFaqItem and ProductLinkList are gone. lib/markdown/product.ts is main's version, unchanged: it already prints compare and faq from the content object, so /compute.md and llms-full.txt stay in step with the page.
• app/compute/page.tsx renders <CompareLinks intro> and <Faq items> between the platform section and the closer, the order product-page.tsx uses for /postgres. markdown-parity.test.ts lists sections/compare-links.tsx for /compute, as it does for /postgres.
• types.ts: a comment only. compare?: { intro: string } and faq?: { question; answer }[] are main's.
• A bug the merges caused. site, docs, blog: one positioning sentence, Compute GA notes, a /postgres FAQ and Compare Prisma links #8360 cut siteConfig.proof to two entries. This PR's closer read proof[2], now undefined, which would throw when compute.ts loads. The trust line no longer indexes the list.
• scripts/seo-page-metadata.test.ts pins the /compute meta description under a header that says the copy is approved and must match character for character. This PR changes that description on purpose ("long-lived" and "long-running" go), so the pinned string moves with it, with a comment in place. It is not drift.
• Three compare-links files (compare-links.tsx, compare-links-data.ts, lib/markdown/compare-links.ts): comments only, now naming /compute.
• One /postgres-visible change. isolated-branches.tsx is a /postgres illustration. Its aria label loses "branched from production". Screen readers only.
• Merge order. Nothing is left to wait for: blog: stop repeating pre-release labels for Composer, ORM 8, the deploy action and Compute #8344, site: consolidate hosts, fix dead redirects, add IndexNow and remove stale claims #8355, site, docs, blog: one positioning sentence, Compute GA notes, a /postgres FAQ and Compare Prisma links #8360, blog: app hosting platforms with managed Postgres compared (2026) #8363 and docs(compute): retitle the FAQ as "Should I use Prisma Compute?" with fit, trade-offs and a sourced 4-vendor table #8364 are merged.

Checks

• Type check: tsc --noEmit on apps/site passes locally.
• Site tests (node --import tsx --test): 123 tests, 116 pass, 7 fail. The same 7 fail on main at cdfd26fc4: /support (3) and /stack (4). None involve /compute, and every /compute test passes, including the Markdown parity test and the SEO metadata test.
• oxlint is clean on the 17 changed files. oxfmt --check flags one line in sections/compare-links.tsx; it is main's own line from site, docs, blog: one positioning sentence, Compute GA notes, a /postgres FAQ and Compare Prisma links #8360 and is left as is.
• No workflow in .github/workflows runs the site tests or a site type check, so CI does not show the results above. The Vercel preview is the first full next build.

Not done here

• platform-stack.tsx (shared by /orm, /postgres and /compute, not in this diff) still says "no network hop between them", "per-PR branching across app and database", "co-located, with no cross-vendor hop" and "Your queries now cross a network boundary Compute doesn't have". These are the same family as the claims this PR removes. It is approved copy on three pages, so it needs an owner decision and its own PR.
• The homepage and /stack still list "Long-running workloads: WebSockets, cron, background jobs (coming soon)", and postgres.ts still says "per PR". Out of scope.
• The hosting comparison post from blog: app hosting platforms with managed Postgres compared (2026) #8363 is not added to the shared Compare Prisma list here. That would change /postgres and /pricing too, so it belongs in a follow-up PR. The note in compare-links-data.ts that asks for it still stands.
• /compute.md prints the first positioning sentence twice in a row: once in the description, once as the subheadline. Cosmetic.
• No Composer scheduled-jobs card: waits on the PM confirming one.
• The page <title> is unchanged. The illustration hostnames (acme-dashboard.prisma.app, pr-214.preview.prisma.app) and the "5 starters" panel predate this PR and are left as they were.
• The paste-ready README and bio texts from PR B live outside this repo.

Facts checked

Docs paths are under apps/docs/content/docs; the pricing file is apps/site/src/components/sections/pricing-plans.tsx. Line numbers are as of main at cdfd26fc4.

1. Entity line: the four sentences are compute/index.mdx:9, verbatim, and match product/content/postgres.ts:32. General availability since August 2026 (compute/index.mdx:9; compute/faq.mdx:9); any PostgreSQL client works (postgres/index.mdx:19); Free plan, no credit card (pricing-plans.tsx:30-32).
2. Deploy on push: the repository connection plus the prisma/cloud-deploy-action workflow, and connecting alone deploys nothing (compute/deploy-on-push.mdx:13-18; compute/faq.mdx:40); the Console opens the pull request that adds the workflow (deploy-on-push.mdx:20); a preview has its own services, databases and URL (deploy-on-push.mdx:120; compute/faq.mdx:25); deleting the branch tears it down (deploy-on-push.mdx:136); six regions, one per service (compute/limitations.mdx:61).
3. Existing repo: a declaration around the server code you have, one service per server composed in one module.ts (composer/porting-an-app.mdx:9, :22; compute/faq.mdx:39, :78); the agent prompt (porting-an-app.mdx:13-26); npx prisma deploy module.ts (compute/faq.mdx:24, :78); deploy does not build, so the build runs first (cli/deploy.mdx:17; composer/limitations.mdx:19); the deploy workflow runs the build itself (deploy-on-push.mdx:16).
4. Deploy caption and the previews card: one deploy creates or updates the services and databases the module declares (composer/index.mdx:71); migrations are applied before the service starts for a postgres() database typed by a Prisma ORM contract (composer/databases.mdx:47-56); rawPostgres() delivers a connection URL and nothing else, so it is yours to migrate (composer/databases.mdx:17-19; compute/faq.mdx:44); production data is not copied into previews (compute/limitations.mdx:66; compute/faq.mdx:44).
5. "What does Prisma Compute not do?": no cron scheduling, no persistent filesystem (compute/limitations.mdx:58); 60 seconds to the first byte, and a started stream is not cut off (:59; compute/request-timeout.mdx:11); no WebSocket servers (:60); one region per service, chosen from six (:61); Bun runtime (compute/faq.mdx:38; compute/object-storage.mdx:13). The answer names the Compute FAQ, which holds the full list (compute/faq.mdx:31-45).
6. Agents card: a response is streamed as the service sends it (composer/limitations.mdx:34); memory is billed apart from active CPU (compute/pricing.mdx:71); an idle app scales to zero (compute/pricing.mdx:9). "Durable" went because the keep-awake primitives are best-effort (compute/keeping-instances-awake.mdx:18).
7. One-platform card and "Do I need Prisma ORM?": PgBouncer pooling included (postgres/index.mdx:82); the app connects through a connection string (compute/faq.mdx:169); Prisma ORM is optional and any PostgreSQL client works (compute/faq.mdx:173; postgres/index.mdx:19).
8. Object Store card: same project, Console and API (compute/object-storage.mdx:9); any S3 client (:13); per-bucket read / read_write keys (:18).
9. "What does it cost?": Free allowances and no credit card (pricing-plans.tsx:30-43); no usage billing on Free (compute/pricing.mdx:28); Starter $10, 5M requests, $0.006 per GB-hour, $0.064 per vCPU-hour, $0.025 per GB, 1M operations, spend limits (pricing-plans.tsx:48-63); memory, CPU and bandwidth billed per use on Starter (compute/pricing.mdx:29). The answer leaves out the overage rates ($1 per million requests past 5M, $8 per million operations past 1M) and points to the pricing page.
10. Trust line: every entry of siteConfig.proof (apps/site/src/lib/config.ts:10-13). Exit line: verbatim from product/content/postgres.ts:117; pg_dump (postgres/database/backups.mdx:29); a Composer declaration is a plain TypeScript value (composer/core-concepts.mdx:13). Prisma Cloud: compute/index.mdx:15; compute/faq.mdx:189.
11. Cron card and deploy illustration: cron scheduling is not part of this release (compute/limitations.mdx:58) and there is no committed Compute config file (:16). The docs describe no health-check step for prisma deploy (cli/deploy.mdx, composer/deploying.mdx); the only one is the optional healthCheck of the Alchemy route (compute/alchemy.mdx:189-216).
