I have the t3 turborepo setup i had some issues with env var in amplify not working in SSR but then i solved all of those issues. But now i have the problem of where prisma doesn't connect to the database when deployed. Not sure what to do.

If you need any more information please let me know.

The build locally works perfectly. Just the issue with prisma now im Amplify

ok so in the turborepo i have turbo.json setup to have globalEnvs
  "globalEnv": [
    "DATABASE_URL",
  ]
then inside apps/nextjs in next.config.mjs i have the env config
env: {
    DATABASE_URL: process.env.DATABASE_URL ?? "",
  },
and in amplify
