About Prisma
Prisma 7's Rust-free client is the floor — every release since has been hardening the WASM stack and pulling Postgres deeper in.
Prisma is in steady-state release mode after the v7.0 cutover removed the Rust query engine in favor of a WebAssembly query compiler running on the main JS thread. Recent ORM versions have layered on what the WASM architecture made possible — query caching, fast/small compilers, savepoint-based nested transactions — alongside tooling (prisma bootstrap, prisma postgres link, Studio dark mode) that ties the ORM ever more tightly to Prisma's own Postgres offering.
