What is Prisma?
Prisma 7's Rust-free client is the floor — every release since has been hardening the WASM stack and pulling Postgres deeper in.
Prisma is in steady-state release mode after the v7.0 cutover removed the Rust query engine in favor of a WebAssembly query compiler running on the main JS thread. Recent ORM versions have layered on what the WASM architecture made possible — query caching, fast/small compilers, savepoint-based nested transactions — alongside tooling (prisma bootstrap, prisma postgres link, Studio dark mode) that ties the ORM ever more tightly to Prisma's own Postgres offering.
What is Jackett?
Jackett in pure tracker-maintenance mode, daily domain and category updates only
Jackett ships automated daily builds that consist almost entirely of tracker-library upkeep: domain alternatives, broken selectors, new categories for individual sites. The core indexer-proxy architecture is stable and unchanged. The only user-visible improvement in this window is hiding the API key on the dashboard.

Prisma 7's Rust-free client is the floor — every release since has been hardening the WASM stack and pulling Postgres deeper in.
◆ Current state
Prisma is in steady-state release mode after the v7.0 cutover removed the Rust query engine in favor of a WebAssembly query compiler running on the main JS thread. Recent ORM versions have layered on what the WASM architecture made possible — query caching, fast/small compilers, savepoint-based nested transactions — alongside tooling (prisma bootstrap, prisma postgres link, Studio dark mode) that ties the ORM ever more tightly to Prisma's own Postgres offering.
◆ Where it's heading
Two parallel arcs: (1) catching up on real database semantics that the previous Rust engine couldn't easily expose (savepoints, partial indexes, query caching), and (2) productizing a turnkey Postgres path where the CLI handles provisioning, linking, and migrations end-to-end. Prisma is converging the ORM and the hosted database into a single onboarding experience.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next minor releases to keep paving the Prisma Postgres path — likely connection-pool defaults, edge-runtime-aware client builds, and tighter CI/migration ergonomics. Independent ORM users may continue to feel like a slower-moving lane while bootstrap-style commands favor the hosted DB.
Jackett
5.0INFRA · APIS
Jackett in pure tracker-maintenance mode, daily domain and category updates only
◆ Current state
Jackett ships automated daily builds that consist almost entirely of tracker-library upkeep: domain alternatives, broken selectors, new categories for individual sites. The core indexer-proxy architecture is stable and unchanged. The only user-visible improvement in this window is hiding the API key on the dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
The last 10 entries show no feature development — every commit is tracker registration data. Jackett's trajectory is entirely reactive to the torrent ecosystem: trackers move domains, change engines, and die; Jackett follows. There is no observable product initiative in this window.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about new feature direction. Daily tracker maintenance will continue as the primary output; any substantive change would come from outside this pattern.
