"One of the most significant changes in Prisma 7 is the complete removal of the Rust-based query engine in favor of a TypeScript implementation. While this might seem counterintuitive given Rust's performance reputation, the Prisma team found that the communication layer between Rust and the JavaScript runtime created bottlenecks. The new architecture delivers 90% smaller bundle sizes, 3x faster query execution, and lower CPU and memory utilization."
"Prisma, the widely-adopted TypeScript-first ORM for Node.js, has released Prisma ORM 7.0, delivering performance improvements, a dramatically smaller footprint, and enhanced developer experience through a complete architectural shift away from Rust. Prisma ORM 7.0 introduces several transformative changes, including a Rust-free client runtime built entirely in TypeScript, generated code moved out of node_modules, a new dynamic configuration file, and significantly faster type generation."
Prisma ORM 7.0 replaces the Rust-based query engine with a TypeScript client runtime to remove binary dependencies and reduce runtime communication overhead. Generated client code is moved out of node_modules and a new dynamic configuration file is provided. Type generation is significantly faster. Prisma Postgres now supports standard Postgres connection protocols for managed databases. The release claims a 90% reduction in bundle size, 3x faster query execution, and lower CPU and memory utilization. Adoption is simple by updating the generator provider to prisma-client. Community feedback is mixed, with many reporting speed gains and some questioning benchmark consistency.
