## Resource

Will Madden joins the podcast to talk about Prisma Next and the evolution from Prisma 7, including the decision to migrate away from Rust, ship the core through WebAssembly, and move toward a fully TypeScript ORM. The conversation dives into how modern workflows like agentic coding change the role of an ORM and why tools still matter even when agents can write SQL queries directly. We discuss how feedback loops, guardrails, and the TypeScript type system help prevent errors, along with the new query builder, query linter, and middleware layer that analyze queries using an abstract syntax tree. The episode also covers new database capabilities including Postgres support, upcoming Mongo support, and extensions like PG Vector, enabling vector columns and cosine distance similarity search. You’ll also learn about new patterns such as collection methods, scopes, and composable database extensions, plus tooling like driver adapters, a potential compatibility layer, and safeguards like lint rules and a performance budget middleware designed to catch expensive queries before they run.
