KConvex laravel and questions
New to convex, and excited about its possibilities. I am coming from the Laravel PHP world (my tech stack of choice is Laravel 12 + Inertia 2.x, Vue 3.x and Tailwindcss 4.x), which is amazing for building fullstack web applications.
I am curious about Convex because of the realtime functionality (esp the reactive nature of the database)
I have gone through the first part of the tutorial here (Convex Tutorial: A chat app): https://docs.convex.dev/tutorial/
Questions:
1. Can I use Convex as a full-stack replacement of my laravel server? Are there any things I cannot do with Convex, that Laravel can?
2. Am I able to self-host Convex on a Digital Ocean droplet, for free, given that Convex is open source? I am confused about this...how easy is it? Are there data / storage / compute resource limits, as mentioned here?: https://youtu.be/BPPThblvitQ?si=oPHGn1Z6qGYeVeJl&t=983
3. Am I able to use Convex to build a large-scale, production-grade clone of Figma or Miro?
