⠙ Preparing Convex functions...

  The package "child_process" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying
  to bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
