Debug slow queries from Prisma Studio and preview migrations in Prisma 8

Query Insights now lives inside Prisma Studio, so you can inspect slow queries next to the data you are browsing.

Prisma 8 adds backward cursor pagination, a migration preview command, and a published version support policy. Prisma ORM speeds up type-checking and tightens credential file permissions.

Highlights

NewQuery Insights is now built into Prisma Studio

Checking slow queries used to mean leaving Prisma Studio for a separate view. Prisma Studio now has a Queries view of its own, so you can inspect query performance next to the data you are browsing. The SQL view also validates AI-generated SQL before it shows it to you.

Shipped in prisma/studio#1515.
