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.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
