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 migrating code against the same database with index parity checks, validator impact assessment, and staged read-only soak testing. - Use Case: A team running Prisma 6 with provider = "mongodb" asks about upgrading to Prisma 7; the Skill explains v7 is impossible, checks the codebase for transaction blockers, and walks through a verified Prisma Next cutover. ## 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 a Prisma MongoDB project to Prisma Next?

Author a Next contract describing your existing collections, map v6 client calls to the Next ORM using collection storage names, and run the plan, migrate, verify, sign flow. The data never moves; only the client code changes against the same database.

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 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 verify your server version before planning a migration.

When should I stay on Prisma v6 instead of migrating?

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