Prisma Patterns

This is the Prisma skill you reach for when you're past the getting-started docs and need production patterns. It covers the traps that bite you at scale: updateMany returning counts instead of records, @updatedAt silently skipping bulk writes, migrate dev resetting your database, and serverless connection pool exhaustion. You'll find cursor pagination with the limit-plus-one trick, soft delete patterns without middleware magic, transaction form selection (array vs interactive), and schema design decisions around ID strategies and indexing. Tested against Prisma 5 and 6, with notes on relationJoins and when it causes row explosion. Written for TypeScript backends where one bad query pattern can tank your API latency.
