deploy

Apply pending migrations to update the database schema in production/staging

The prisma migrate deploy command applies all pending migrations and creates the database if it doesn't exist. Primarily used in non-development environments.

This command is not supported on MongoDB. Use db push instead.

Usage

prisma migrate deploy [options]

The datasource URL configuration is read from the Prisma config file (e.g., prisma.config.ts).

Characteristics
