Smooth upgrade path from Prisma 1 to Prisma 2.0

We’re planning to have a smooth upgrade path for existing Prisma 1 users.

The plan is to have:

• extensive documentation on the upgrade process
  • Upgrading a REST API
  • Upgrading a GraphQL API based on nexus-prisma
  • Upgrading a GraphQL API based on prisma-binding to Nexus
  • Upgrading a GraphQL API based on prisma-binding to SDL-first
• additional tooling that help transforming a Prisma 1 project into a Prisma 2 project

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for staying patient 🙏 I want to share another quick update on the state of the upgrade path to Prisma 2.0.

We’ve just published a new docs page that has a lot of helpful information regarding the upgrade process.

Most importantly, it points out all relevant schema incompatibilies and different workarounds that can be applied. For most of the workarounds, you’ll actually be able to use the Prisma schema upgrade CLI tool that we’re also working on.

⚠️ The docs page as well as the Prisma schema upgrade CLI tool are still work in progress but we wanted to share an early version to give you an update on what we’re working on and get your feedback for it! Please let me know if anything on the docs page needs clarification (feel free to ping me directly on Slack if you have any questions).

As next steps, we will start working on more detailed migration guides for upgrading GraphQL APIs with prisma-binding and nexus. (Side-note for @LeonardoGentile, Prisma 2.0 doesn’t support prisma-binding any more. Alternatively you can use a plain SDL-first approach with graphql-tools or use GraphQL Nexus, this will be explained in the upcoming migration guides).

Hey folks 🙌 here comes another update regarding the upgrade process to Prisma 2.0!

First version of an upgrade guide for prisma-binding

We have started working on more upgrade guides, a first one that explains how to upgrade a prisma-binding app to Prisma 2.0 and Nexus is now available as a first version. While the guide already contains a lot of helpful information, it is still _work in progress (that’s why it’s not yet available in the main Prisma docs, but only as a preview URL).

I would love to get feedback for the prisma-binding guide and learn more about how helpful it is to you! If you’re currently running a prisma-binding app and consider upgrading, please get in touch via email for ping me on Slack (I’m @nikolasburk there).

A new repository for dedicated upgrade feedback

I’ve also created a new repository that should serve as a central place to collect questions and issues about your upgrade process.

If you’re currently running Prisma 1 and are planning to upgrade soon, please open an issue there and share some more details about your upgrade scenario.

If you have any other questions or issues, feel free to create a new GitHub issue to raise these.
