Does it have migrations yet?
I'd like to give Prisma a try, but if there's no sane way to change my schema (part of my daily backend workflow) then it's less interesting, no matter how nice the API is. For now I'll stick with Sequelize.

However, we do see a lot of folks using third-party migrations (like knex.js or indeed Sequelize) and then still get the benefits of Prisma Client [2] through introspection [3] for the time being. For non-critical applications we also already see lots of users who are trying out Migrate and help us improve it through constant feedback! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the current version so that we can make sure to consider your feedback and ideas for Migrate when building it out over the next few months.

Prisma Migrate is different from ActiveRecord migrations (which are very familiar with) because the DB schema is state-based. The Prisma schema file acts as source of truth and the DB schema will be migrated to match it.
Can you elaborate on what you would perceive as reaching the level of Django/ActiveRecord? I'd be interesting in specific aspects/items.
1. a declarative model - ie. defining the db schema rather than the migrations
2. auto generated migrations with the ability to customize
3. integration with tools for deployment and testing
You probably have a much better idea of the landscape, but reach out to Andrew Godwin [1], he wrote south and then rewrote it to become django migrations.
