Hi everybody,

Over the past few years, we’ve introduced several preview features to expand the Prisma ORM's capabilities. Some have been well-received and integrated into the core, while others, due to unclear paths forward or technical challenges, have languished in preview.

As we promised in the Prisma ORM Manifesto and the ORM Roadmap, we’re taking steps this year to clear the backlog of preview features. This will unlock their value for everyone while reducing the maintenance burden of conditional code paths.

Here’s what’s next for each preview feature.

Features Planned for GA in March-August 2025

relationJoins

GA planned for March-August 2025

Our most widely used preview feature, relationJoins gives users fine-grained control over how relationships are queried. While work remains to make it production-ready, we have a clear plan and path forward.

views

GA planned for March-August 2025

Highly requested by the community, the views preview feature enables seamless integration with database views. We are tackling architectural challenges, especially around migrations, to ensure this feature is robust.

prismaSchemaFolder

GA planned for March-August 2025

This feature improves scalability for large projects by allowing flexible organization of Prisma schemas. Only minor tooling updates and documentation refinements remain to bring it to GA.

multiSchema

GA planned for March-August 2025

Multi-schema support is critical for users with complex database setups. We’re focusing on resolving open issues and improving compatibility with non-Prisma tables, targeting a release in the first half of 2025.

Features Planned for GA in Sep 2025 - Feb 2026

queryCompiler

EA planned for March 2025, GA in Sep 2025

The Query Compiler is a foundational update, designed to reduce communication overhead between Rust and JS and enable further architectural improvements as we migrate fully to TypeScript.

This work will establish driver adapters as the primary method of communication with the database, so the driverAdapters preview feature will be merged into this.

nativeDistinct

GA planned for Sep 2025 - Feb 2026

This feature allows users to leverage native implementations of DISTINCT in their queries. While it has lower uptake than some other features, we have a clear roadmap to complete it in the second half of 2025.

typedSql

GA planned for Sep 2025 - Feb 2026

A Prisma innovation, typedSql bridges Prisma’s schema-driven approach with flexible SQL queries. We’re addressing implementation complexities and aim to remove the need for an active database during CI.

strictUndefinedChecks

Evaluating. We’ll publish an updated plan later this year

This feature prevents unintended undefined values from affecting queries, improving safety and security. We’re refining it to apply selectively to where clauses and addressing bugs before deciding on its future.

fullTextSearchPostgres

GA planned for Sep 2025 - Feb 2026

We understand the importance of full-text search and are reevaluating its implementation for Postgres. Updates on this feature are planned for the second half of the year.

Preview Features Being Discontinued

postgresqlExtensions (but we’ll still support Postgres extensions)

Discontinuation planned for Jun - Aug 2025

After careful evaluation, we’ve determined that the current implementation of the postgresqlExtensions preview feature is too complex and doesn’t provide enough value.

While this specific feature will be discontinued, we remain committed to supporting Postgres extensions. Instead of this approach, we’ll ship support for specific extensions—such as PostGIS—through focused, independent efforts.

metrics

Discontinuation planned for Jun - Aug 2025

Due to low usage and compatibility issues with the Query Compiler, we’ve decided to retire metrics.

deno

Discontinuation planned for Mar - May 2025

Prisma now works seamlessly with Deno, rendering this specific preview feature unnecessary.
