Don't Let Your AI Agent Delete Your Production Database
AI coding agents keep wiping production databases. Prisma 8 removes the failure modes structurally: no reset command, no shadow database, and migrations that verify every step.
Prisma 8 Early Access: Write Your Contract, Prompt Your Agent, Ship Your App
Prisma 8 is open for Early Access. Define your data layer as a contract and the framework handles migrations, type-safe queries, and continuous upgrades, safe to delegate to your agent.
