Highlights

AI safety guardrails for destructive commands

Prisma ORM now includes built-in safety checks that protect against destructive commands when triggered by AI coding assistants. The CLI can recognize when it is being executed by popular AI agents such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Cursor, Aider and Replit.

If a command like prisma migrate reset --force is attempted, Prisma ORM will prompt for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

This feature ensures that irreversible operations which drop and recreate the database are not executed automatically by an AI tool. Prisma ORM is the first ORM to provide this level of protection, making it safer to use AI-assisted development while working with your databases.

prisma-client: runtime improvements and schema flexibility

We simplified Prisma ORM by making the runtime options for the Prisma Client more consistent and easier to understand. Previously there were several overlapping aliases which created confusion. With this release we simplified the inputs while keeping support for all the major environments you might be targeting.

Changes include:

• node has been removed, use runtime = "nodejs" instead
• deno-deploy has been removed, use runtime = "deno" instead
• vercel has been replaced by the new runtime = "vercel-edge"
• edge-light is now just an alias for vercel-edge
• nodejs, deno, and bun now share the same internal code path, while still keeping their separate input values for clarity
• The VS Code extension has been updated to reflect these changes

The updated list of supported runtimes is now:

nodejs, deno, bun, workerd (alias cloudflare), vercel-edge (alias edge-light), and react-native.

In addition, we fixed an issue where running prisma generate would fail if your schema contained no models. This is now supported with the new prisma-client generator, just like it already worked with the older prisma-client-js generator.

For example, the following schema will now generate a client without errors:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client"
  output   = "../generated/client"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

Running prisma generate with this schema will succeed and create the client in ./generated/client.

Using Prisma ORM with Vercel Fluid

Fluid compute is a new compute model from Vercel that combines the flexibility of serverless with the stability of servers, making it ideal for dynamic workloads such as streaming data and AI APIs.

A common challenge in traditional serverless platforms is that when functions are suspended, database connection pools can’t close idle connections. This leads to leaked connections that stay open until the database times them out, which can exhaust the pool.

Vercel provides the attachDatabasePool utility to solve this problem. It ensures idle connections in the pool are properly released before a function is suspended, preventing connection leaks.

You can use this utility together with Prisma’s driver adapters to safely manage database connections in Fluid Compute:

import { Pool } from "pg";
import { attachDatabasePool } from "@vercel/functions";
import { PrismaPg } from "@prisma/adapter-pg";
import { PrismaClient } from "./generated/prisma/client";

const pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.POSTGRES_URL });
attachDatabasePool(pool);

const prisma = new PrismaClient({
  adapter: new PrismaPg(pool),
});

Other news

Prisma Postgres Management API is Generally Available

The Prisma Postgres Management API allows you to programmatically provision and manage Prisma Postgres instances. It’s the perfect way to spin up a database in your CI/CD workflow, see our GitHub Action examples for creating and deleting if you’re curious about this use case.

It also enables developers to offer databases to their own users! For example, did you know that Co.dev (YC23), a popular “low-code AI app builder” is using the Management API to provision Prisma Postgres instances to people building apps with their platform?

We’re excited to share that the Management API is now fully ready for production. With it moving into GA, we also added another piece of functionality where you can now create new projects without a default database.

We’re looking forward to see what you’re going to build with it!

Prisma Postgres is now available on Pipedream

Prisma Postgres can now be used directly in your Pipedream workflows 🎉

With this integration, you can connect Prisma Postgres to over 2,800+ apps supported on Pipedream, enabling powerful automations and data workflows. For example, you can:

• Automatically spin up a new Prisma Postgres database when a customer signs up in Stripe.
• Connect Prisma Postgres with Slack, Notion, Airtable, or any other app in the Pipedream ecosystem

This makes it easier than ever to use Prisma Postgres in your automation pipelines, without needing to manage custom scripts or infrastructure.

📚 Learn more on the Pipedream integration page.

New --json flag for npx create-db

The npx create-db command lets you spin up a temporary, production-ready Prisma Postgres database that you can later claim for continued use. With this release, you can now add the --json flag to return the database details in JSON format.

This makes it straightforward to programmatically use the connection details, whether you are building custom APIs or integrating database provisioning into your workflows.

Direct connections to Prisma Postgres are coming close to GA

Direct connections enable you to connect to your database using any ORM library or tool of your choice (e.g. Drizzle ORM, Kysely but also database GUIs like Postico or TablePlus).

In this release, we’ve improved the robustness of direct TCP connections and are close to bringing it to General Availability.
