SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? MongoDB projects on Prisma v6 have no upgrade path to Prisma 7 because v7 ships no MongoDB connector, leaving teams without clear guidance on whether to migrate to Prisma Next or stay on v6. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Framework: Provides a decision table and blocker checks (transaction usage, MongoDB server version, pre-1.0 tolerance) to choose between migrating to Prisma Next and staying on v6. - Migration Mappings: Maps v6 schema concepts, client API calls, raw queries, and the db push workflow to Prisma Next's contract model, ORM lanes, and plan/migrate/verify/sign migration flow. - Cutover Verification: Supplies a no-data-moves checklist covering index parity, validator impact, storage-name addressing, and staged read-only soak before cutover. - Use Case: A team on Prisma 6 with provider = "mongodb" asks about upgrading to Prisma 7; the Skill explains v7 is impossible, checks the codebase for $transaction usage, and walks them through a staged Prisma Next migration. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to evaluate whether your Prisma v6 MongoDB project should migrate to Prisma Next and to check the codebase for migration blockers.

FAQPage Schema
Can I upgrade Prisma 6 MongoDB to Prisma 7?▼

No, Prisma 7 has no MongoDB connector, so upgrading a MongoDB project to v7 is impossible. Prisma v6 is the terminal classic-ORM major for MongoDB, and the forward path is Prisma Next, where MongoDB support is in Early Access.

How do I migrate a Prisma v6 MongoDB project to Prisma Next?▼

Author a Prisma Next contract describing your existing collections, then run the plan, migrate, verify, and sign flow against the same database. No data moves; verify index parity, validator impact, and storage-name addressing on a staging copy before cutover.

Does Prisma Next support MongoDB transactions?▼

The Prisma Next Mongo client façade does not wrap db.transaction yet, but the underlying mongodb driver is directly available as a peer dependency. Multi-document atomicity works today via driver sessions with startSession and withTransaction on a replica set.

What MongoDB server version does Prisma Next require?▼

Prisma Next's Mongo target requires MongoDB 8.0 or later and mongodb@^7 installed as a user-supplied peer dependency. Prisma v6 tolerated older server versions, so check your server version before planning a migration.

When should I stay on Prisma v6 instead of migrating?▼

Stay on v6 when your codebase relies on $transaction and you cannot plan driver-session equivalents, or when your team cannot absorb pre-1.0 breaking changes between Prisma Next minors. Pin the latest 6.x line, keep taking patches, and re-evaluate at GA.
