First, a big change to how coding agents work with Prisma. Until recently, agents using the Prisma CLI were signed in as you, with the same permissions and no separate identity in the audit log. We changed that in September, giving agents their own identity and making their actions easier to track. There’s more: Prisma ORM 8 can now work with your existing Prisma 7 schema without changes, the Prisma MCP server can roll back Compute deployments directly from your AI tool, and we have two important dates to keep on your radar before the year ends. ------------------------------------------------------- 🤖 Give your coding agent its own credentials, not yours ------------------------------------------------------- Your coding agent can now work with Prisma using its own credentials instead of yours, making it easier to track what it does and manage its access independently. You also get to decide how much freedom it has. By default, agents can work independently on preview branches, but they’ll ask for your approval before making changes to production, deleting resources, or creating connection strings. This way, your agent can keep moving on everyday tasks while you stay in control of anything sensitive. To get started, head to *Settings → Agents* in Prisma Console, copy the enrollment instructions into your agent’s chat, and approve the pairing code. You can follow our *enrollment guide* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSo8UuRZE4DTLOQQqnEAKUo/HQ5R26WwvBCz ) to get your agent set up and make your first deployment. *Enroll your agent* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSq1UQwsCdRvNkkF19ix4RK/OW1wN6Zycysn ) --------------------------------------------- 📅 A couple of important dates to keep in mind --------------------------------------------- There are two upcoming changes worth checking if you're using Prisma Postgres or Accelerate. * *November 1, 2026: Prisma Postgres Early Access ends.* If you're still using an Early Access database on PostgreSQL 16, you'll need to migrate to a new database to avoid losing your data. You can check for affected projects in Prisma Console and follow our *migration guide* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSruTxSBBCgNQ743BWDjoNq/-BvDo6rzOOf8 ) to make the move. * *December 1, 2026: Accelerate is retiring.* If you're still using Accelerate, you'll need to *switch to a pooled connection or the serverless driver* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoStnTTxU9lupSTNrLsiWYKM/pz3WLNvaUShk ). Your database, data, and plan won't change, but you'll need to remove cacheStrategy from your queries since caching won't be supported. If you're using Accelerate with your own database, you can *connect to it directly instead* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSvgT0Sn8L9HUphfWFDJIGs/jqxlHRx9qLVV ). --------------------------------------------------- ⚡ Try Prisma ORM 8 on your existing Prisma 7 schema --------------------------------------------------- Most upgrade guides start with a rewrite. This one starts with your existing schema, because Prisma ORM 8 now reads a Prisma 7 schema.prisma on PostgreSQL as it is. Both versions run on the same database, and Prisma ORM 7 keeps managing your migrations. That means you can move your queries over one file at a time instead of in one risky jump. A few Prisma 7 features, such as views, are not supported yet, and the setup command stops with a clear message if your schema uses one. The setup is one command in your Prisma 7 project. Write prisma@latest in full, because a plain npx prisma in that project still runs version 7. npx prisma@latest orm init --from-prisma7-schema prisma/schema.prisma ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSxZSWy66uNjXC1Tgbi62DO/Dk1a_6UoOzOj ) A couple of things to keep in mind if you're planning to try Prisma ORM 8. It's still in release candidate, but prisma@latest already installs it. If you're sticking with Prisma ORM 7 for now, make sure your scripts and CI jobs use prisma@7 instead, so you don't accidentally upgrade. There's no pressure to switch just yet, as Prisma ORM 7 will continue receiving bug fixes and security updates for 18 months after version 8 reaches general availability. Whenever you're ready to explore what's changed, our *Coming from Prisma ORM 7* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoSzSS3TP5TcBZYLHqyCsm9u/4TPSo3t85No6 ) guide walks you through the differences in schema attributes, CLI commands, and queries. *Run Prisma ORM 7 and 8 side by side* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoT1LRZyi42qdbuf61KhfW6Q/SNmjk4zDYW40 ) ----------------------------------------------------- 🛠Manage Prisma Compute deployments from your AI tool ----------------------------------------------------- You can now manage Prisma Compute deployments directly from your AI tool using the Prisma MCP server, without having to switch between your chat and Prisma Console. Whether you're troubleshooting a failed deployment, checking runtime logs, or rolling back to a previous version, you can handle it all from the same conversation. You can also manage apps, builds, deployments, and environment variables across production and preview environments. Since some operations can affect live applications, make sure you're working in the right workspace and app before approving changes. Our *MCP tools reference* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoT3ER6U12c55eGyuBhCSG2w/fLd04U2uH7S_ ) covers what's available and how each tool works. *Connect the Prisma MCP server* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1vWzb6aoT57QczK1BJXgdIiM3hEzzS/niTSZG6o1ayv ) --------------------------------- 🎤 Catch Søren at Web Summit today --------------------------------- Our co-founder and CEO, Søren Bramer Schmidt, is speaking at Web Summit in Lisbon today about what we learned from rebuilding Prisma from scratch with AI. In his talk, *“Rebuilding Open Source with AI: Lessons Learned,”* he’ll share practical lessons from working with coding agents, how to get the most out of them, and what AI-driven development means for the future of open source. If you're at Web Summit, you can catch him *today, November 12, from 4:05 to 4:25 PM on Stage 10* , as part of the Developer Summit track. *See Søren's session* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0MxRP7imdoe33yC5uTZQCTNG/WyhgdD95nTTy )  ------------------------------------ ✨ More updates you might have missed ------------------------------------ A few other improvements have landed over the past couple of months that are worth checking out. *Full-text search in Prisma ORM 8:* You can now search Postgres text fields using fullTextMatches , sort results by relevance with fullTextRank , and improve search performance with @@fullTextIndex. The *documentation* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0N5ET9w2zu7ipiLt3GSXSAzO/ENQGAm06pO7v ) covers how to get started. *Easier deployments on Prisma Compute:* You can now update environment variables on running apps without rebuilding, or use the *Deploy latest commit* button to redeploy a GitHub-connected app without pushing a new commit. You can find both improvements in the *changelog* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0ND1XC9JLzbObSVgC3LehsbW/weq4_qFeoTRW ). *A new home for Prisma ORM 8 extensions:* We've also introduced an *extensions directory* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NKobEMZi554NCfTKqElxaDe/wlLL6kl8DBqa ) , where you can discover extensions and middleware from Prisma and the community, find installation instructions, or submit your own. ----------------------------- 📚 A few reads worth your time ----------------------------- If you're exploring Prisma ORM 8 or thinking about your application's next stage, here are three articles worth catching up on: * *Is Prisma 8 Ready for Long-Lived Production Apps?* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NSbfGZq4AYk8wpGTd7tDHpm/e6ftLhKj4dVt ) explores common concerns about Prisma ORM 8, with answers from its lead developer. * *The new way to use Prisma ORM 8 in NestJS* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NaOjIn6QG2Pugz3cQ10SzRu/O-tWi0kWrUqO ) walks through a simpler approach using a shared client and query helpers. * *Choosing hosting and Postgres after your first 100 paying users* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NiBnL0MmLW5gR8qlCu7ih42/F4WJDgZyAXwY ) breaks down what to consider as your app grows, including hosting decisions and database costs at different scales. You can also catch up on the smaller fixes, improvements, and breaking changes in the *full changelog* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NpyrNDd8QzlSBIdtznEyOgA/f8p14wLI8FBI ). -------------------------------------------- ✅ A few things to check before the year ends -------------------------------------------- If you've been meaning to catch up on these updates, here are three good places to start: * *Enroll your coding agent* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0NxlvPQtUWTRDvSR2mgME6II/p67bxZIpkxX_ ) so it can work with its own credentials while you control which actions need approval. * *Try Prisma ORM 8 on an existing project* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0O5YzRe9qbx6zfcEBZZTTnuQ/4dv7g7U0dOrk ) and see how your current schema and queries work with the new architecture. * *Check your database connections* ( https://bkoe7.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/7xYELDE0MxTI7FHwnDHW0YPidvuzDJm/nA25BumT3Wlp ) if you're still using Accelerate, which retires on December 1. If you had a Prisma Postgres Early Access database, the November 1 deadline has already passed, so check its status in Console. We'd love to hear how things are going with your projects, especially if you've started experimenting with Prisma ORM 8.
