Did it just get... faster in here? Convex is now powered by PlanetScale for Postgres. We want to provide you all with the fastest, most reliable, most cost efficient foundation for building your projects and companies. So over the last few months, we've been partnering with PlanetScale on a new project that's just coming out today: PlanetScale for Postgres. Who's on it now? 1. We've already moved a few select projects over like chef.convex.dev. 2. All new projects created today are running on it by default! I want it! What about my existing deployment? Our team will be migrating the 400,000+ existing Convex deployments onto this new foundation over the next few months. We want to take our time and get it right. Full details here: https://news.convex.dev/powered-by-planetscale-for-postgres/ Fire away with any questions!

Will this speed up data residency or is it the same timeline?

Holy Amazing Incredible performance gains, and a real testament to Convex’s commitment to never settle on the fundamentals. Really goes a long way in proving Convex’s worth as the foundation on which to build a business for the long term.

Awesome! sounds like plantscale infrastructure is properly staying up with new tech. If my home computer can have 2,000,000 IOPS to just one drive why cant my database have that too :convex:

How exciting!

Benanna19•2mo ago

I am so excited for this. Also excited for existing planetscale customers (cough) who could potentially connect convex to their existing db and start using convex completely!

Woah! Time to spin up a new project with Convex 🤯

jackalani•2mo ago

When data residency does go live, will we be able to choose the data residency for our existing projects, or will we have to start a new project and migrate the data?

okay so if I go now on convex.dev and create a new project I'm using planetscale?

stefano•2mo ago

yes

thesiddd•2mo ago

is this confirmed to be supported? cc @jamwt @mikeysee

Benanna19•2mo ago

It was mentioned as coming in the future in some form. I’m excited but also not trying to presume on the goodwill of the team
