# Prisma Documentation - Prisma Next (Early Access)

> Prisma Next, the next major version of Prisma ORM, available in Early Access. A ground-up TypeScript rewrite that keeps the schema-first workflow while making it extensible, composable, and AI-agent friendly. Covers setup, ORM, guides, and CLI docs for Prisma Next.

- [`Advanced queries`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/next/fundamentals/advanced-queries): Use the SQL query builder on PostgreSQL and the pipeline builder on MongoDB for queries the ORM API can't express.
- [`Applying a migration`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/next/migrations/applying-a-migration): prisma-next migrate walks the graph from where your database is to where you want it, with a preview, a checkpoint at every step, and safe retries.

- [`Author in PSL`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/next/contract-authoring/psl-syntax): Write the Prisma Next contract as a Prisma schema file, using the schema language you already know plus the Prisma Next additions.
- [`Author in TypeScript`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/next/contract-authoring/typescript-schema-builder): Define the Prisma Next contract with a typed builder API instead of a schema file. Same models, same artifacts, no separate language.
