Is Prisma 8 Ready for Long-Lived Production Apps?
Prisma 8's lead developer answers three concerns from a Reddit thread: the new architecture, Prisma's commercial incentives, and whether the migration model hides your SQL.
Why Your Agent Reads a Prisma Schema Better Than Your Codebase
Your data model in one declarative file. We measure what a Prisma schema costs an AI coding agent in tokens and type-check time, and what it buys.
Infraslopture and Other Paradoxes
How we're combining untrustable agents and production infrastructure without burning down our servers
Move a local Postgres database online (2026): migrate it to the cloud with Prisma Postgres, Neon, Render, Railway or Supabase
Prisma Postgres, Neon and Render take a laptop Postgres database online in three steps (create, pg_dump, pg_restore); Railway takes four, Supabase five. Free tiers, idle rules and storage compared.
Search encrypted data with Prisma 8 and CipherStash
CipherStash brings searchable field-level encryption to Prisma 8: encrypted equality, free-text and range queries, and identity-based key management.
Don't Let Your AI Agent Delete Your Production Database
AI coding agents keep wiping production databases. Prisma 8 removes the failure modes structurally: no reset command, no shadow database, and migrations that verify every step.
Your AI Agent Needs File Storage. Now It Can Get Its Own
Object Store buckets add S3-compatible file storage to every Prisma project. Two Management API calls take an agent from nothing to reading and writing files.
How to Make Your Docs Agent-Ready
Coding agents fail silently on truncated indexes, broken links, and missing metadata. What we fixed in the Prisma docs, and how to audit yours.
Ship risky schema changes with per-branch databases
Prisma Compute gives every branch its own Prisma Postgres database. Rehearse expand-and-contract migrations in isolation before they touch production.
You Don't Need Elasticsearch, Postgres Already Has Full-Text Search
Build full-text search with tsvector, GIN indexes, and pg_trgm typo tolerance on Prisma Postgres. For most apps, no Elasticsearch cluster required.
Extending Prisma 8 with Typed Postgres ltree
Use PostgreSQL ltree in Prisma 8 with prisma-ltree: typed path columns plus ancestor and descendant queries.
What to Put in Your AGENTS.md So Your Agent Handles the Database Right
A copy-pasteable AGENTS.md section for database work: ephemeral Postgres via npx create-db, safe migrations, and JSON output for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
