Building a Jira Clone with KickJS and Prisma: Lessons from Supporting Prisma 5, 6, and 7

The article describes building a Prisma ORM adapter for KickJS, a decorator-driven Node.js framework, and using it to create a 14-module Jira-style project management API. The team supported Prisma versions 5, 6, and 7, encountering type safety challenges due to Prisma's per-project generated types, which forced the use of `any` typing for version-agnostic compatibility. Key components include a lifecycle adapter, query translator, and CLI integration for generating DDD modules with working Prisma repositories.
