2 Apps, 1 Convex Backend functions disappear
Hi All, I am testing Convex for a monitoring dashboard. I have a Nextjs app as the front end and a simple Node app that updates data in the DB. If I start my Nodejs app, I see my stats being updated. If I then start my Nextjs app, my Node functions get overwritten, and my stats do not update as the convex function they were using has disappeared. This is all in the Cloud Dev environment. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to persist functions from different apps in a single backend?
Thanks

You should have a single
convex folder where you can write the Convex functions called from both your Node and your Next apps. One nice way to achieve that and keeping end-to-end type safety is to use a monorepo. You can take inpiration from this template: https://www.convex.dev/templates/monorepoConvex

Thanks @Nicolas I thought I might have to go that way. Thanks for the tip. Aprreciate it.
Of course!
