Best practice for large, multi-mutation sequence with convex

I'm trying to create a series of mutation calls to handle the event where the user deletes their account.
When a user deletes their account, I need to:
- update every thread the user created (recursive scheduled tasks)
- update every comment the user created (recursive scheduled tasks)
- update user details
- update or delete every message the user created (recursive scheduled tasks)

Given resource limits for each mutation, i'm guessing invoking 4 separate mutations from the client (rather than inside a single parent mutation) is the way to go here...maybe not..

Should one of these mutations fail, I'll either need to rollback the updates and throw an error or ... I need to think of a better way to handle this altogether. I could also be going about this rather inefficiently...hence me bringing this up here, in case im making an incorect assumption about Convex.

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.
