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 blocker-based decision table covering transactions usage, MongoDB server version, and Early Access risk tolerance to choose between migrating to Prisma Next or staying on v6. - API and Schema Mapping: Maps v6 client calls, raw queries, schema attributes, and composite types to their Prisma Next equivalents, including storage-name addressing and the mongoRaw lane. - Cutover Verification: Supplies a no-data-moves checklist covering index parity, validator impact, transaction inventory, and staged read-only soak before switching writes. - Use Case: A team on Prisma 6 with 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 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, then run the plan, migrate, verify, and sign flow against a staging copy. The data never moves; only the client and workflow change, with v6 kept runnable until cutover verification passes.

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 using 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 multi-document $transaction calls you cannot port to driver sessions, or when your team cannot absorb pre-1.0 breaking changes between minors. Pin the latest 6.x line, keep taking patches, and re-evaluate at Prisma Next GA.
