# Overview (/docs/guides)

Practical, step-by-step guides for building with Prisma ORM, each one run end to end before it ships.

Location: Overview

Practical, step-by-step guides for building with Prisma ORM. Every command in a published guide was run end to end against a live database before it landed here. The [Prisma ORM 7 guides](/guides/guides-v7) remain available for Prisma ORM 7 projects.

Use the version dropdown in the sidebar to switch between these guides and the Prisma ORM 7 guides.

## Frameworks

## Integrations

- [GitHub Actions](/guides/guides-3-integrations-github-actions)

- [AI SDK](/guides/guides-3-integrations-ai-sdk)

## Upgrading

- [Prisma ORM 7 to 8 on PostgreSQL](/guides/upgrade-prisma-orm-postgresql)

- [Prisma ORM 7 to 8 on MongoDB](/guides/upgrade-prisma-orm-mongodb)

## Still on Prisma ORM 7

The authentication guides and the remaining integration and Prisma Postgres guides in the sidebar are written for Prisma ORM 7 and carry a note at the top saying so. Some wait on third-party adapters that still require Prisma Client; the rest land here as they are ported. Cloudflare D1 and the Accelerate integrations live under the [Prisma ORM 7 guides](/guides/guides-v7) only.
