Frequently updated query: how to make it more efficient

Do I understand it correct that when I have a query that gets 100 rows and then I update only one of the row, the query gets called again after the single row update to refetch all 100 rows?

Background: I'm creating a chat app where it is very active, typing indicators, lots of chat bubbles sent at the same time or in quick succession.

If I show the latest 100+ chat bubbles (1 bubble = 1 row) to a user, does it mean the query gets called repeatedly over and over again every time a user sends a message? because I tested it, and it basically ate through all the bandwidth in my free tier after a few days of intense chatting (real human interaction though, not even stress testing it) I added index but it only helps a little bit.

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.
