ORM 6.15.0, AI Safety Guardrails for Destructive Commands & More

Don’t let AI reset your DB — new safety guardrails for destructive commands

Ever had your AI coding tool attempt to reset your database? Or maybe it actually did?

In Prisma ORM v6.15.0, we’ve added extra guardrails that will prevent an AI coding tool from running the prisma migrate reset without explicit permission.

The prisma migrate CLI now detects the environment from which it has been executed. If it’s being executed by popular AI agents such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Cursor, Aider and Replit, it will request an explicit confirmation before executing the command against the database.

This feature ensures that irreversible operations which drop and recreate the database are not executed automatically by an AI tool. Prisma ORM is the first ORM to provide this level of protection, making it safer to use AI-assisted development while working with your databases.

ESM-first prisma-client generator is coming close to production-readiness

Want to use a more flexible Prisma Client library with less magic and more control?

The new prisma-client generator is ESM-first and more flexible than the current prisma-client-js generator. It requires setting a dedicated output path in your Prisma schema so the generated code for your Prisma Client library is fully under your control!

In this release, we made the runtime options for the Prisma Client more consistent and easier to understand. Previously there were several overlapping aliases which created confusion. With this release we simplified the inputs while keeping support for all the major environments you might be targeting.

Changes include:

• node has been removed, use runtime = "nodejs" instead
• deno-deploy has been removed, use runtime = "deno" instead
• vercel has been removed, use runtime = "vercel-edge" instead
• edge-light is now just an alias for vercel-edge
• nodejs, deno, and bun now share the same internal code path, while still keeping their separate input values for clarity
• The Prisma VS Code extension has been updated to reflect these changes

Here is the full list of with all updated values for the supported runtimes: nodejs, deno, bun, workerd (alias cloudflare), vercel-edge (alias edge-light), and react-native.

Solve the serverless database connection problem with Prisma ORM & Vercel Fluid

Ever ran into trouble when connecting to your database from a serverless function?

Fluid compute is a new compute model from Vercel that combines the flexibility of serverless with the stability of servers, making it ideal for dynamic workloads such as streaming data and AI APIs.

A common challenge in traditional serverless platforms is that when functions are suspended, database connection pools can’t close idle connections. This leads to leaked connections that stay open until the database times them out, which can exhaust the pool.

Vercel provides the attachDatabasePool utility to solve this problem. It ensures idle connections in the pool are properly released before a function is suspended, preventing connection leaks.

You can use this utility together with Prisma’s driver adapters to safely manage database connections in Fluid Compute:

Prisma Postgres Management API is ready for production

Do you want to programmatically provisioning and manage Prisma Postgres, e.g. during CI/CD?

The Prisma Postgres Management API for programmatically managing database instances is now Generally Available!

It’s the perfect fit for CI/CD workflows, or any time you need a database on demand, check out these example GitHub Actions to see how it works:

• Create Prisma Postgres Database Action
• Delete Prisma Postgres Database Action

You can also use it to provision databases in your own product! Take it for a spin with npx create-db , a CLI tool we built with the same API it, you can read about this here.

Integrate Prisma Postgres with 2800+ apps to automate workflows via Pipedream

Love automating workflows? You can now integrate Prisma Postgres with all kinds of apps—from ChatGPT, to Telegram, to Zendesk. The options are limitless!

Prisma Postgres can now be used directly in your Pipedream workflows 🎉

With this integration, you can connect Prisma Postgres to over 2,800+ apps supported on Pipedream, enabling powerful automations and data workflows. For example, you can:

• Automatically spin up a new Prisma Postgres database when a customer signs up in Stripe.
• Connect Prisma Postgres with Slack, Notion, Airtable, or any other app in the Pipedream ecosystem

This makes it easier than ever to use Prisma Postgres in your automation pipelines, without needing to manage custom scripts or infrastructure.

New --json flag for npx create-db

Need a quick database without the hassle of manual setup or authenticating with a 3rd party service?

The npx create-db command lets you spin up a temporary, production-ready Prisma Postgres database that you can later claim for continued use. With this release, you can now add the --json flag to return the database details in JSON format.

This makes it straightforward to programmatically use the connection details, whether you are building custom APIs or integrating database provisioning into your workflows.

Try it out and share your feedback

In this release, we added guardrails for destructive commands ran by AI tools to ensure the new coding overlords are not accidentally deleting your data! We also made huge progress on moving the new, ESM-first prisma-client generator closer to General Availability and made many smaller improvements to Prisma ORM, Prisma Postgres and other tools.
