📜 Our Manifesto for Prisma ORM

Another huge announcement for the ORM: we have published a Manifesto describing our view of the ORM and how we will tackle governance moving forward. You should read the whole document, but to spoil it a little bit: expect quarterly roadmaps, a leaner and meaner ORM, and an easier path for collaboration and contribution.

📊 Prisma Studio for Prisma Postgres

Following up our announcement of Prisma Postgres and then moving Prisma Postgres to free for the Early Access period, we now have Prisma Studio available for Prisma Postgres! Prisma Studio, embedded directly in the Prisma Console, allows you to view and edit your data online.

🔍 New Optimize recommendations
