How to Upgrade to Prisma 6 (Without Breaking Everything)

Thinking of upgrading to Prisma v6?
Don't do it blind.

Prisma 6 brings some major changes — especially in how the Client is generated and used.

And if you're using custom output paths or working in a monorepo, there are a few gotchas you’ll want to avoid.

I just published a step-by-step guide that covers:

  • ✅ What changed in Prisma 6 (output paths, setup, CLI)
  • 🛠️ How to migrate safely with examples
  • 🧼 How to clean up your old setup to avoid conflicts
  • 🧪 Bonus: testing your new setup with minimal downtime

👉 If you're using Prisma in a modern TypeScript or fullstack project (especially Next.js), this will save you hours.
