Prismic.io is increasing our price by *1900%* over Christmas
I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Looking for a (primarily) WYSIWYG platform to build a MySQL interface.
Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.

Is Prisma ORM ready for production?
Also, there are lots of exciting web frameworks that use Prisma as their default ORM layer (like RedwoodJS which is built by the founder of GitHub, Amplication which recently raised $6.6M in seed funding, Wasp (YC W21) or KeystoneJS) which should give you some more validation that Prisma is being used in a lot production applications :)
