# 2. When prompted, deploy the Prisma service to a _public cluster_
# 3. Navigate to the new project
cd my-app
# 4. Start server (runs on http://localhost:4000)
yarn startyarn startstarts GraphQL server onhttp://localhost:4000yarn prisma <subcommand>gives access to local version of Prisma CLI (e.g.yarn prisma deploy)
