Apply pending migrations to update the database schema in production/staging

Location: CLI > v7 > migrate > deploy

The `prisma migrate deploy` command applies all pending migrations and creates the database if it doesn't exist. Primarily used in non-development environments.

> [!WARNING]
> This command is not supported on [MongoDB](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v7/core-concepts/supported-databases/mongodb). Use [`db push`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/cli/v7/db/push) instead.

## Usage [#usage]

```bash
prisma migrate deploy [options]
```

The datasource URL configuration is read from the Prisma config file (e.g., `prisma.config.ts`).

## Characteristics [#characteristics]

* Does **not** look for drift in the database or changes in the Prisma schema
* Does **not** reset the database or generate artifacts
* Does **not** rely on a shadow database

## Options [#options]

| Option         | Description                            |
