> **Using Prisma 7?** It is maintained for eighteen months after `8.0.0` final; [supported versions](./docs/oss/versioning.md#supported-versions) says what that covers. Its source lives on the [`v7` branch](https://github.com/prisma/orm/tree/v7) of this repository and its docs at [prisma.io/docs/orm/v7](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v7).

> **Prisma 8 is a release candidate.** `8.0.0` final is expected in the next four to eight weeks. Until then a release candidate may include breaking changes, and every release ships with an upgrade recipe that the `prisma-8` skill applies for you. The candidate is a complete implementation we stand behind: we treat bugs in it as urgent, and the risk you take on is a feature that is not built yet rather than churn. The [feature scoreboard](./scorecard.md) names every gap. New projects should start here. Existing Prisma 7 applications can migrate incrementally, and Prisma 7 stays maintained on the [`v7` branch](https://github.com/prisma/orm/tree/v7) for eighteen months after `8.0.0` final. Star the repo, follow [@prisma on X](https://pris.ly/x), or read along on the [Prisma blog](https://www.prisma.io/blog).

**Prisma 8** is a TypeScript rewrite of Prisma ORM, designed to be **extensible**, **composable**, and **AI-agent friendly** by default. Read the [announcement](https://pris.ly/pn-announcement) or start with the [docs](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm).

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 24 or newer
- A package manager (`npm`, `pnpm`, or `yarn`)

## Getting started

### 1. Scaffold a new project

The interactive scaffolder picks an app template (Next.js, Hono, Nuxt, Astro, NestJS, SvelteKit, TanStack Start, or Elysia) and wires Prisma 8 in with your chosen database (PostgreSQL or MongoDB):

```bash
npm create prisma
```

You finish with a runnable app, a starter contract, and the agent skills already installed. See the [create-prisma reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/prisma-orm/create-prisma) for every template and flag, or follow the [PostgreSQL](https://www.prisma.io/docs/prisma-orm/quickstart/postgresql) and [MongoDB](https://www.prisma.io/docs/prisma-orm/quick
