nestjs-prisma7-postgresql-docker

A professional example project demonstrating how to use Prisma 7.2.0 (released just 3 weeks ago, after 6.9.1, with breaking changes) in a modern NestJS application with TypeScript and PostgreSQL. All running in Docker.

Story & Motivation

As the technical manager of an engineering team, I noticed that upgrading to Prisma 7.2.0 was a challenge for many developers due to its breaking changes. To help my team (and the community), I created this repository as a clear, working example: Upgrading Prisma is easy—like a piece of cake!

Features

• Prisma 7.2.0 integration (with breaking changes handled)
• NestJS 10.x, TypeScript
• PostgreSQL database
• Dockerized for easy local development
• Customizable ports for both API and database

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/nestjs-prisma7-postgresql-docker.git
cd nestjs-prisma7-postgresql-docker

2. Build and run with Docker Compose

docker compose up --build

• API will be available at http://localhost:4000
• PostgreSQL will be available at localhost:5433

3. Custom Ports

• Change ports in docker-compose.yml and src/main.ts as needed.

Prisma 7.2.0 Notes
