Hey <!everyone>,
just in time for tomorrow's Prisma Day, we are launching the first Preview version of
Prisma 2 🚀
After months of hard work, we are incredibly excited to share what we have been working on! Prisma 2's main features are two standalone tools:
-
Photon: A type-safe database client (the evolution of the
Prisma client)
-
Lift: A declarative data modeling and schema migration system
💡 You can learn all about Prisma 2 in the announcement:
https://www.prisma.io/blog/announcing-prisma-2-zq1s745db8i5/
📚 The
documentation for Lift and Photon is temporarily hosted on GitHub and will at some point get merged into the main Prisma website:
https://github.com/prisma/prisma2-docs
As Prisma 2 is running in Preview, there are currently a number of limitations, such as missing features, limited performance and stability issues. You can find a list of all current limitations here:
https://github.com/prisma/prisma2-docs/blob/master/limitations.md
For existing Prisma 1 users, there's no immediate need to upgrade to Prisma 2. We are running an extensive testing and validation period over the summer to ensure Prisma 2 is stable when it's released for General Availability. You can help us a lot by testing Prisma 2 and sharing your feedback in the
#prisma2-preview channel or by creating issues in the new GitHub repositories for Photon JS and Lift:
