# Known limitations (/docs/compute/limitations) Location: Compute > Known limitations Prisma Compute is in [Public Beta](/console/more/feature-maturity#public-beta). This page lists what the beta can and can't do. CLI [#cli] * The package is `@prisma/cli`; the executable is `prisma-cli`. The quickest way to run it is `npx @prisma/cli@latest ` (or `bunx`/`pnpm dlx`), with Node.js 22.12 or newer for `npx` and `pnpm`. * The command groups are `auth`, `project`, `project env`, `git`, `branch`, `database`, `app`, and `version`. There is no `init`, `schema`, or `migrate` command, and no product-branded `compute` namespace. * Project and app resolution never reads or writes committed config files. `.prisma/local.json` is a gitignored local pin, and `PRISMA_PROJECT_ID` / `PRISMA_APP_ID` override it for CI. Projects and branches [#projects-and-branches] * Project setup is explicit: `--yes` won't create or choose a project for you. * The first branch in a project is production; the rest are preview by default. * `branch list` inspects branches; it doesn't create remote state. * Deleting a branch on GitHub can tear down the matching platform branch, but production and default branches are always left alone. Frameworks and runtimes [#frameworks-and-runtimes] * `app deploy --framework` accepts `nextjs`, `nuxt`, `astro`, `hono`, `tanstack-start`, and `bun`. * `app build --build-type` accepts `auto`, `bun`, `nextjs`, `nuxt`, `astro`, and `tanstack-start`. * `app run --build-type` accepts `auto`, `bun`, and `nextjs`. * Use `--entry` for Bun, or whenever detection needs a hand. Environment variables [#environment-variables] * Values are write-only: once saved, they are never returned by any surface, and there is no command to pull them into a local `.env`. * `project env list` returns keys and metadata only. * Values resolve at deploy time; changing one doesn't mutate existing deployments or trigger a redeploy. * Production variables can't be branch-scoped. * Keys must match `[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`; values are non-empty, up to 8 KB. GitHub [#github] * GitHub is the only supported provider, and a project connects to one repository. * Auto-deploy is single-app; use CI with a service token for monorepos. * The webhook path is branch- and push-driven. There are no PR comments or PR status automation. Domains [#domains] * Custom domains are production-only and CNAME-based. * Up to 3 custom domains per app. * There is no workspace-wide domain list in the CLI. Logs [#logs] * `app logs` streams the live deployment or a specific one. * It returns `FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE` when the platform can't serve logs for the resolved deployment. * Logs stream in time-bounded segments, so direct API clients should expect to reconnect. Runtime [#runtime] * This release focuses on HTTP apps. WebSockets, cron or background jobs, a persistent filesystem, and edge runtimes are not part of it. * No multi-region deployments. * Not yet recommended for mission-critical or heavy production workloads. * Exact limits, pricing, retention policies, and runtime guardrails can still change before general availability. Databases and migrations [#databases-and-migrations] * These docs cover app deploy and runtime config only: not database creation, schema migrations, or data cloning. * Don't assume production data is copied into preview branches. * Don't assume production migrations run automatically on deploy. * Pass database URLs and other runtime config through [environment variables](/compute/environment-variables). Next steps [#next-steps] * [FAQ](/compute/faq): quick answers to common questions. * [Get started with `@prisma/cli`](/compute/getting-started): your first deploy. ## Related pages - [`@prisma/cli`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/getting-started): Deploy your first app to Prisma Compute with the @prisma/cli beta package, then learn the variations you'll need next. - [`Branching`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/branching): Branches are isolated environments that map to your Git branches, so preview work never touches production. - [`CLI reference`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/cli-reference): Every @prisma/cli command, flag, environment variable, and error code for Prisma Compute. - [`Configuration`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/configuration): Declare your deployable app in a typed prisma.compute.ts file so deploys are reproducible and monorepos work, without re-passing flags every time. - [`Deployments`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/deployments): Build, deploy, inspect, promote, and roll back app deployments on Prisma Compute.
