ECurious, what benefit would you be looking to get from convex if you use your own db?
CI already have a project
Cnot start a new project
Cso there are data and schemas in old db
Eright, but what value do you want from convex in this project
Creal time?
CCRUD?
Clike what strapi did
CI don't know about convex well, I just think it's cool cuz it's written in rust
EConvex is primarily a database, you'll need to use the db to get realtime. It's also possible to incrementally adopt Convex to get the realtime that you need without having to immediately convert your entire app
C
so this database is needed for sure I guessCthank you I guess I will do my own backend work for now?
Ccuz I already have a postgresql with authentication, socket io, CRUD and etc.
Cit seems convex better for a new project?
EYeah migrating is non-trivial for sure
EI migrated from postgres and am very happy that I did, but you'll have to decide whether making a switch works for your current goals.
EBut again, incremental adoption is also potentially worth considering, depending on how your app works and where you need realtime.
EIf you want to share a little more about your app and the realtime requirements, happy to talk through it a bit more
CI feel you like a master, I currently working for a boss(only me and boss) as a startup, I worked like a slaves, I do nextjs, prismadb, deployment, test, expressjs as backend, so manything include, mail service, real time messager, file management service, like CMS kind of things, it's extremely complicated, because we are doing a startup related to law, that's all I can tell you, I take care more on freedom, the freedom to extend functions easily, very flexible and scalability, it's just too much work to do
CI am grateful to your help, I just feel sometimes hard to hire a good employee
CI have to do things all by myself
CI just tired of doing api call, make api all times, duplicated work for me, cannot improve myself
EGotcha, sounds rough. If there's a way to integrate Convex, happy to help. It'll make your life easier.
