Migrating to Convex from RDMS/SQL

I would love to hear about someone's approach moving from a traditional SQL platform to Convex and any patterns or practices they took. For me we run a very large CRM application and would love to move to something like Convex even if it was some type of lift and shift approach. But I would love to hear opinions or approaches anyone has taken. I feel like we could start finding a way to use Convex just for reading data on a small scale but it is when we want to shift to writing is the big question....

Pub/Sub Topic Structure

Does Convex offer any type of pub/sub topic based solution? I have looked at the workflow features and they are close but I do have cases wher eI want to fan out events to additional subscribers. I have used Reddis and Inngest in the past.

Streaming import API takes 3 times longer than regular functions

Just tried the streaming import api and uploaded 100k rows for test. While it was taking 2 min or so with regular queries (for database consistency check) and mutations, it takes 8 min with this import api which is supposed to be faster and more efficient at uploading big dataset than the regular function api. Below the code I am using within an action.

How long can Convex Actions be run for?

Processing test images with AI can take a lot of time, especially if you are processing multiple images at a time. How long at most can I run actions for, if I process 10 images by gpt-4o-vision for instance, and it needs a lot of time? Is there a way to up this limit? Thank you!

Getting started with Convex and MonoRepo

I am looking at building a project that has the following: - Mobile Expo App - Multiple Next JS applications In the past I always do this in a monorepo, is there anything special I have to do to make the apps use the same generated code? Is there any best practices?...

Is this the correct way of processing data?

I am kinda new to convex and I am experimenting to check if I should migrate my existing app to convex. So I try to migrate the most demanding part of my existing app over to convex. If it can handle that, it can handle everything else to. I just started and created a workflow that truncates a summary table and go recursivly over all the data needed to do processing on to fill back up the summary table....

"Enable edit mode" doesn't seem to work properly/is annoying

Clicking 'Confirm' only makes it so that this dialog does not show up again when I make further edits in the same table (good), but this resets whenever I switch to a different table, and it pops up again (not so good). I don't think this is what 'browser session' is supposed to mean

I wanted to try Chef, on the first request it didn't build, so I kept asking to fix the basic build

I ran out of free credits and it never got to fix the initial bug it created, so I had to add Antropic API, and it reached the limit of the API after two questions, is that normal or I did something very wrong since the beginning?

Few claims are absent in getUserIdentity method's response

Hey) The acr, amr, and auth_time claims are missing, while I see other custom claims. What might be the reason? The query: ``` const identity = await fetchQuery(...

What should I use for processing a large dataset?

I have a dataset containing a +5 million rows. I need to do a lot of calculations on those rows. What should I use? a mutation, action, scheduled job, workflow? I am self hosting and the functions takes more than 10 minutes. That is why I think I need a workflow. Is this right?...

Cant see logs of actions called inside my workflow

When I start a workflow, I see all the logs in the function definition. But when I call queries or mutations from the workflow I dont see the logs. This makes it very hard to debug when writing code. ``` workflow.define({ handler: async (ctx) => {...
