This documents contains a rough outline for future features and changes in Prisma. Its primary purpose is to provide visibility in the current efforts of the Prisma engineering team and make Prisma users aware of upcoming changes.
The roadmap is updated every two weeks (i.e. with every Prisma release). If you want to see the changes that have happened in the last releases, check out the changelog.
