Does it make sense to create a backend when using Convex?
Hey, I was wondering, is it a good practice to build a backend on top of Convex, like creating a Node.js/Bun service that talks to Convex's backend itself? I'm just asking what the community normally does and what exactly the advantages are.

Convex is built to work directly in and with your app, and to be your backend. Generally no need to build a separate interface on top.
