Also is there any updates when the
prisma migrate
command will be released as not experimental features? Not exactly launch dates but whether it is soon-ish?

@Hervé - Product at Prisma hopefully says something about it today

Oh i see. Thank you!

Hi @Matheus Assis We are currently running discovery efforts to understand better how to revisit
migrate
. The current state is that we’re distinguishing two main use cases: 1- development & test, 2- production rollout Migrate is trying to do it all and ended up convoluted to properly support what people expect from 1 (fast iterations, low care about data loss) and 2 (predictability, reliability, trust, high care about how data is preserved) From a timelines perspective, we would like to reach a beta within the quarter (~September) with some potential experimental solution(s) dripped along the way. The Beta phase would help to ensure we got the production workflow nailed well and finetune the solution to get to a GA release later this year. @Alberto Perdomo runs point on this, so you may want to connect to discuss details together if you feel like it. I hope this helps!

Thank you! I'm trying to find what would be the best way of implementing migrations for our tool but if the release(even the beta version) was closer we could maybe wait for it a little bit before implementing anything else. But it's nice to know that we could have a beta this year still. Thanks

there's a whole team working on migrate
so it's definitely being worked on 🙂

Hello @Matheus Assis, let me know if you want to chat. I’d love to understand your use case and what you are doing right now! Feel free to drop a comment here or DM me.

Hey @Alberto Perdomo. Thanks for reaching out! Well for now we postponed our migration solution since we don't expect we'll have much changes as the db is in a pretty stable state. And we're waiting for at least the fix of https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/446 so we can have
TEXT
columns. So we can start using prisma migrate in its experimental state
