Search encrypted data with Prisma 8 and CipherStash
CipherStash brings searchable field-level encryption to Prisma 8: encrypted equality, free-text and range queries, and identity-based key management.
Don't Let Your AI Agent Delete Your Production Database
AI coding agents keep wiping production databases. Prisma 8 removes the failure modes structurally: no reset command, no shadow database, and migrations that verify every step.
Your AI Agent Needs File Storage. Now It Can Get Its Own
Object Store buckets add S3-compatible file storage to every Prisma project. Two Management API calls take an agent from nothing to reading and writing files.
How to Make Your Docs Agent-Ready
Coding agents fail silently on truncated indexes, broken links, and missing metadata. What we fixed in the Prisma docs, and how to audit yours.
Ship risky schema changes with per-branch databases
Prisma Compute gives every branch its own Prisma Postgres database. Rehearse expand-and-contract migrations in isolation before they touch production.
You Don't Need Elasticsearch, Postgres Already Has Full-Text Search
Build full-text search with tsvector, GIN indexes, and pg_trgm typo tolerance on Prisma Postgres. For most apps, no Elasticsearch cluster required.
Extending Prisma 8 with Typed Postgres ltree
Use PostgreSQL ltree in Prisma 8 with prisma-ltree: typed path columns plus ancestor and descendant queries.
What to Put in Your AGENTS.md So Your Agent Handles the Database Right
A copy-pasteable AGENTS.md section for database work: ephemeral Postgres via npx create-db, safe migrations, and JSON output for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
See Your Migration History in Prisma Studio
The Prisma Studio Migrations view shows every applied Prisma 8 migration as a timeline with a visual diff, the executed SQL, and a schema diff.
You Don't Need a Job Queue, Postgres Already Has SKIP LOCKED
Postgres can run a reliable background job queue with FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. Build a worker queue with retries using pg and Prisma Postgres, no broker required.
You Don't Need a Vector Database, Postgres Already Has pgvector
pgvector turns Postgres into a vector store; Prisma 8 makes it type-safe. Build working semantic search on a temporary Prisma Postgres database in minutes.
Your AI Agent Needs a Database. Give It One in Five Seconds
npx create-db gives coding agents a temporary Postgres database in seconds, no sign-up. JSON output lets Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex test on real Postgres.
