I have a feature request
I have a feature request:
- I was developing things and being a happy developer.
- Then I looked at the function calls quota and became a nervous developer, because we don't have any customers and already burned through 100k+ calls just during the development.
- I started to manually batch query requests and that works to some extent, I was able to cut down the requests count to 30% of original.
- but we still burning through the quota!
- Now to do the batching, I'd need to rework a lot of my react code....
So the feature request: would it be possible to have some kind of automatic batching? 😆

I estimated that we would spend ~2$ a month on the active users just for the function calls. That's tough to swallow, I think we can do 10x better.
hey, yeah we definitely don't want you to be nervous, and you shouldn't have to rearchitect your app and compromise on ergonomics 🙂
@james and I will dig into what's going on with your project on our side.
oh sup @vors ! good to see you here 😄
👋 good to see you Sujay 🙂
This is about the quota of the free starter account? Or exceeding the built in resources of pro?

Ah, so the worry is you’ll blow through the built in 25 million function calls per month before you have customers.
And you mentioned $2 per month. Is that $2000?
The 2$ is my back of the napkin calculations based on the $2 per 1,000,000 function calls pricing.
We had 2 people developing the service for a week and we are >100k function calls.
I rouhgly estimate that a very active user can get to 1M function calls with that rate.
You can argue that it's in reality more like $0.20
Gotcha. So assuming you have more than 25 active users, you’re into metered pricing.
right
And $2/mo per active user seems too steep. Understood
Can you explain the “more like 0.20?”
yeah I think my back of the napkin is more like $0.20 in P90, but still
I think 100k a month is more realistic
probably P90 of usage
Okay, makes sense. Great, we’ll follow up!
:thank_you:
Also, in general, if someone really moved a lot of monthly volume on convex, we’d definitely be reaching out about custom pricing and all that jazz. But we’ll see more what’s going on here for pro and your use case.
👍
Hopefully one day a company that I am part of would do that 🙂
