Practical, step-by-step guides for building with Prisma 8, each one run end to end before it ships.

Location: Overview

Practical, step-by-step guides for building with Prisma 8. They mirror the structure of the [Prisma 7 guides](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/v7), and every command in a published guide was run end to end against a live database before it landed here.

Use the version dropdown in the sidebar to switch between these guides and the Prisma 7 guides.

## Frameworks [#frameworks]

Each framework guide scaffolds a working app with `create-prisma`, initializes the database, and ends with your data rendering:

- [Next.js](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/frameworks/nextjs)

- [Astro](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/frameworks/astro)

- [Nuxt](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/frameworks/nuxt)

- [SvelteKit](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/frameworks/sveltekit)

## Coming as they land [#coming-as-they-land]

The remaining categories follow the [Prisma 8 docs plan](https://linear.app/prisma-company/issue/DR-8689/docs-guides-incremental-migration-deployment-performance-testing) and land one guide at a time, each tested before it ships:

* **Upgrading**: moving from Prisma 7, and between Prisma 8 releases
* **Migrations**: down migrations, handling schema conflicts, and working with the migration graph
* **Deployment**: Vercel, Fly.io, AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Docker
* **Extensions**: using pgvector, using ParadeDB, building your own
* **Databases**: PostgreSQL tips, MongoDB tips, adding a new database
* **Patterns**: multi-tenant apps, soft deletes, audit logs, pagination at scale
* **Performance**: query limits in CI, reading query plans, indexing
* **Testing**: unit tests, integration tests, testing against the contract
* **Operations**: connection management, backups, health checks, zero-downtime migrations

Until a Prisma 8 guide exists for your topic, the [Prisma 7 guide](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/v7) still applies to Prisma 7 projects, and the [Fundamentals section](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/fundamentals/reading-data) covers the query patterns any guide builds on.

## Next steps [#next-steps]

* [Start with the quickstart](https://www.prisma.io/docs/prisma-orm/quickstart/postgresql) if you don't have a Prisma 8 project yet.
* [Learn the fundamentals](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/fundamentals/reading-data): reading, writing, relations, transactions, and advanced queries.
* [Read the Prisma 8 overview](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm) for the concepts behind contracts, typed queries, and migrations.
