## What
Adds an opt-in path to run each Prisma client through
**`@prisma/adapter-pg`** (the node-postgres driver) instead of the
built-in engine driver, controlled by a **per-client env var, all off by
default**:
| env var | client |
|---|---|
| `CONTROL_PLANE_DATABASE_WRITER_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | control-plane writer
|
| `CONTROL_PLANE_DATABASE_REPLICA_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | control-plane
replica |
| `RUN_OPS_DATABASE_WRITER_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | new run-ops writer |
| `RUN_OPS_DATABASE_REPLICA_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | new run-ops replica |
| `RUN_OPS_LEGACY_DATABASE_WRITER_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | legacy run-ops
writer |
| `RUN_OPS_LEGACY_DATABASE_REPLICA_DRIVER_ADAPTER` | legacy run-ops
replica |
With every flag unset the construction path is byte-identical to today
(`datasources` URL + Rust engine), so this is inert until a flag is
turned on. Per-client granularity allows enabling the adapter only where
it's wanted.
## How
- Enables the `driverAdapters` preview feature on both schemas
(`@trigger.dev/database` and `@internal/run-ops-database`). This keeps
the **Rust query engine** — it does NOT add `queryCompiler` — so query
behavior, result types, and engine tracing spans are unchanged.
- A shared `buildDriverAdapterPool` builds each client's `pg.Pool` with
an explicit `max`, a bounded `connectionTimeoutMillis` (the
node-postgres pool otherwise waits unbounded on acquire), and an
`onPoolError` handler (an unhandled idle-connection error would
otherwise crash the process). Threaded through all four client builders
via a `useDriverAdapter` flag.
- Adds `@prisma/adapter-pg` + `@types/pg` to the webapp; `pg` is already
pinned at `8.15.6` (adapter-pg 6.x requires `pg < 8.17`).
## Connect-failure handling (the important correctness/security bit)
Under the adapter an unreachable DB no longer surfaces as
`PrismaClientInitializationError` / `P1001`; it becomes a `P2010`
"Database not reachable: <host>" (or a raw
`ECONNREFUSED`/`ENOTFOUND`-class error). Two handlers are updated so a
client on the adapter behaves like today:
- **`isInfrastructureError`** now recognizes those shapes (P2010 with a
connectivity message, and raw connectivity errno codes). Without this,
the DB **hostname would leak into API-client-facing errors** and the
failure would go unlogged. Security-relevant.
- **`isPrismaRetriableError`** treats the adapter's pool-acquire timeout
("timeout exceeded when trying to connect") as retriable, preserving the
`P2024` retry behavior the adapter otherwise drops.
## Evidence
Validated on an isolated stack that mirrors the production DB topology
(chained PgBouncers in front of writer + reader):
- **Behavioral parity:** raw-query results and Prisma error codes/`meta`
are byte-identical between the engine driver and the adapter across the
queried shapes (unique-constraint `meta.target`, record-not-found,
transaction-timeout, serialization-failure, etc.).
- **Feature matrix:** a full 380-project queue-ay pass shows no
adapter-caused regressions — pass/fail parity between adapter-off and
adapter-on, with the residual failures being pre-existing
known-failures/flakes common to both.
## Rollout / rollback
All flags default off; enable per client via env var, roll back by
unsetting and redeploying (no data migration). Recommended first target
is a single writer; enable one client at a time.
## Follow-ups (not in this PR)
- `$metrics`-based pool observability is removed under the adapter (the
Prometheus route + `db.pool.connections.*` instruments); the metrics
replacement (via `pg.Pool` counters) lands in a separate PR.
- Note for operators: on the adapter path, interactive-transaction
`maxWait` does not bound pool acquisition — `connectionTimeoutMillis`
does.
## Note on connection-string parameters
The adapter pool is built from the base DSN, so Prisma-specific DSN
parameters that node-postgres does not understand are not honored when a
client is on the adapter:
- **Prisma TLS spellings** (`sslaccept`, `sslcert`, etc.) —
node-postgres uses `sslmode`/`ssl` instead. Our production DSNs do not
use these Prisma-specific TLS params, but any deployment whose DSN
relies on them must be checked before enabling a flag.
- `pgbouncer=true` and `statement_cache_size` — effectively moot under
the adapter, which uses no persistent named prepared statements.
`connection_limit`, `pool_timeout`, and `schema` are handled explicitly
(passed as `max`/`connectionTimeoutMillis` and PrismaPg's `{schema}`
option).

Server Changes
This directory tracks changes to server-only components (webapp, supervisor, etc.) that are not captured by changesets. Changesets only track published npm packages — server changes would otherwise go undocumented.
When to add a file
Server-only PRs: If your PR only changes apps/webapp/, apps/supervisor/, or other server components (and does NOT change anything in packages/), add a .server-changes/ file.
Mixed PRs (both packages and server): Just add a changeset as usual. No .server-changes/ file needed — the changeset covers it.
Package-only PRs: Just add a changeset as usual.

Description
The body text (below the frontmatter) is a one-line description of the change. Keep it concise — it will appear in release notes.
Writing guidance
These entries are public-facing - they ship verbatim in user-visible release notes. A few rules to keep them clean:
- Write for the user, not the reviewer. Lead with what the user notices or has to do. If a reader who doesn't know the codebase can't tell what changed for them, rewrite it.
- One sentence is usually enough. The body is the bullet in the changelog. If you need a paragraph, you're probably describing the implementation rather than the change.
- Describe behavior, not implementation. Skip internal scopes, middleware names, library specifics, framework internals. Users care about what's different for them, not how it's wired.
- Never name internal tools or infra. Observability stacks, internal services, infra components, monitoring backends, CI surfaces, AWS specifics - none of these belong in user-facing notes.
Before / after:
- ❌ "The image verification step now parses the manifest's layer media types and returns a new result the finalizer rejects." (describes the wiring; a user can't act on it)
- ✅ "Deploying with an outdated CLI could produce an image that fails to start on every run. These deploys are now stopped before going live, with a message asking you to upgrade the CLI and re-deploy." (what the user sees and does)
Lifecycle
- Engineer adds a
.server-changes/file in their PR - Files accumulate on
mainas PRs merge - The changeset release PR includes these in its summary
- After the release merges, CI cleans up the consumed files
