# Prisma MongoDB Upgrade Path
MongoDB projects are the one Prisma cohort with no road into Prisma 7: **v6 is the terminal
classic-ORM major for MongoDB, and v7 never ships a MongoDB connector**. The successor path
is [Prisma Next](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-next), where MongoDB support is in Early
Access with GA planned after Postgres. This skill frames the real decision — migrate to
Prisma Next (the encouraged path), or stay on v6 where a hard blocker applies — and carries
the migration mechanics.

- Never advise a MongoDB project to "upgrade to Prisma 7". The connector does not exist
there. The `prisma-upgrade-v7` guide does not apply to MongoDB projects.
- Never solve the version question by rewriting the app onto a SQL database. Changing the
database engine is a separate, much larger decision that is not yours to make implicitly.
## The version landscape
| Version | MongoDB status |
|---------|----------------|
| Prisma ORM v6 | Fully supported (`mongodb` provider); latest 6.x is the current stable path; maintenance line |
| Prisma ORM v7 | **No MongoDB connector — not an option, ever** |
| Prisma Next | MongoDB support in **Early Access**, actively developed, GA planned after Postgres — the successor path for MongoDB projects |
## The decision, up front
**Migrating to Prisma Next is the encouraged path.** MongoDB support in Prisma Next is Early
Access: functional and moving quickly, with GA planned after Postgres — and the Pr
