Experimental

The experimental directory contains the same examples as the javascript and typescript directories. The main difference is that it uses Prisma Migrate to perform database migrations which are currently an experimental feature.

Deployment platforms

The projects in the deployment-platforms directory show what "Prisma Client"-based deployment setups look like for various deployment providers. Learn more about deployment in the Prisma documentation.

Real-world & production-ready example projects with Prisma

• Backend for a real world grading application (incl video and written tutorials)
• Tottem – Fullstack app for "social library management" (based on Next.js)

About this repository

The latest branch of this repository contains the examples with the latest stable version of Prisma CLI and Prisma Client (@latest on npm). These dependencies are kept up to date with a GitHub Action workflow, which updates them every time a new version of Prisma is released.

There are also the automated branches dev and patch-dev, which mirror the code from latest (synced via a GitHub Action workflow), but they use the respective development channels of Prisma CLI and Prisma Client from npm instead (@dev and @patch-dev, also updated via a GitHub Action workflow). Thanks to the test coverage of all projects, this can point us to incompatibilities early.
