 ```ts file=client.ts
 import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
 
-// add prisma to the NodeJS global type
-interface CustomNodeJsGlobal extends NodeJS.Global {
-  prisma: PrismaClient
-}
-
-// Prevent multiple instances of Prisma Client in development
-declare const global: CustomNodeJsGlobal

+const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }
 
-if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') global.prisma = prisma
+export const prisma =
+  globalForPrisma.prisma || new PrismaClient()
 
-export default prisma
+if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma
 ```
 
 The way that you import and use the client does not change:
 
 ```ts file=app.ts
-import prisma from './client'
+import { prisma } from './client'
 
 async function main() {
   const allUsers = await prisma.user.findMany()
