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: Evaluates blockers like $transaction usage, MongoDB server version, and tolerance for pre-1.0 breaking changes to recommend migrating to Prisma Next or staying on v6. - API and Schema Mapping: Maps v6 client calls, raw queries, composite types, and ObjectId schemas to Prisma Next contract and ORM equivalents. - Cutover Verification: Provides a checklist for same-database migration covering index parity, validator impact, staged soak testing, and rollback planning. - Use Case: A team on Prisma 6 with MongoDB asks about upgrading; the skill checks their codebase for transaction usage, confirms MongoDB 8.0+, and walks them through a staged Prisma Next cutover without moving any data. ## 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 v6 is the terminal classic-ORM major for MongoDB projects. The forward path is Prisma Next, where MongoDB support is in Early Access with GA planned after Postgres.

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

Author a Next contract describing your existing collections, run the plan, migrate, verify, and sign flow on a staging copy, then cut over code only since the data never moves. Check for $transaction usage and confirm MongoDB 8.0+ first.

Does Prisma Next support MongoDB transactions?▼

The Prisma Next Mongo 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 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 verify 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 multi-document $transaction calls you cannot port to driver sessions, or when your team cannot absorb pre-1.0 breaking changes between Next minors. Pin the latest 6.x line and keep taking patch releases.
