Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
