How to wrap the database writer so that `ctx.db.patch` and `ctx.db.insert` run side effects
Firebase has a concept of trigger functions which trigger when documents are created, updated, deleted, etc. I found this really useful since I didn't have to worry about where or how documents were updated to still be sure that a cleanup or side effect would be run. What would be a robust way to do this in Convex?
I was trying to do it inside rules but quickly realized that's not possible...
This is what my mental model wanted to do:
Problems:
1. cannot do mutations inside the handlers
2. field._id is not yet available
