Hi There!

Hi There! I installed convex locally and have it rendering in my browser, but after signing in, it keeps prompting me to "Please select a team". My email address belongs to a team, so not sure how to resolve this issue? Any advice would be appreciated....

I did see I can move it to a horizontally scalable db with HA like Postgres, do you know the backend server itself can be horribly scaled or sharded in any way? I read somewhere that you are hard limited to a single instance.

Instance taking very long to boot and when it boots it's extremely slow?

If someone can help me troubleshoot why my instance is taking very very long to boot up I'd appreciate It's using sqlite and local store for files and I'm storing quite a lot of files, database is 4GB~ and the data folder of the container is around 8.3GB I want to know what's this searchlight step taking upwards of 30 minutes to init, I'm guessing it has something to do with searchIndexes? Is this normal?...

Database Naming Process · Issue #432 · c...

Interesting, well unless I am missing something the amazon docs don't actually give any information regarding naming constraints, opting to only tell you at creation. I just wanted to spin a local instance up using a random database I had handy that happened to be on a server using CloudPanel. They seem to be under the assumption underscores are not supported on RDS https://github.com/cloudpanel-io/cloudpanel-ce/issues/432 Regardless though, I do think having an option to set a custom database name that is not intrinsically tied to the instance name would be preferred....

was looking for the same, but doesn't seem to be a priority at the moment, our team was looking into it thinking of using it to build our fintech dashboard for our merchants but had dropped the idea since it'd mean vendor lock-in now and the cloud version doesn't seem to have hard limit on billing yet (the calculator on the pricing seems to suggest we can bump into the same billing nightmare like firebase if we make silly mistake in our code logic)

Hey all. Could it be that docker image

Hey all. Could it be that docker image ghcr.io/get-convex/convex-backend:6efab6f2b6c182b90255774d747328cfc7b80dd9 has some bug or so? I often get randomly Lease not found. Using the release before works well.
