About this Episode

Jack Herrington talks with Will Madden about how Prisma ORM is evolving in v7, including the transition away from Rust toward TypeScript, less magic, and a new Prisma config file for more predictable good DX. They dig into Prisma Postgres, improvements to Prisma Studio, better support for serverless environments, and how JavaScript ORM tools like Prisma as an object relational mapper will fit into future agentic coding workflows powered by LLMs.
