Trigger/onUpdate Functions
I'd love to have Trigger functions (in addition to scheduled) : functions that are executed when a

Also, I cant implement onUpdate patterns in for example vercel functions, having this would allow me to stay reactive withouth the burden of a stateful server.
Usecase:
I have datapoints being created in a table, with multiple mutations, from multiple sources and I want to model multiple parallel background job/queue that are triggered as soon as possible bc they are user facing. Cron not ideal because "asap" not "later".

new Convexclient().onUpdate(query) but that actually runs "inside convex.I'm aware of the
schedule.runAt(0...) pattern which is also nice, but I think the trigger pattern is more expressive, allowing muliple paralel behaviors to occur independently, and allows better modelling of fail scenarios and keeps the mutations cleaner.
