Does the function runtime stay alive while the event loop is still active? (background promises)
I'm looking at ways to get my logs out to our existing observability platform (loki-compatible api). I think the best way to do this is to have my logger async upload logs to the sink, will the function keep running after I return a response? (query, action, mutation), or will the environment be immediately shut down once the function returns?

Thank you!
A really hacky solution would be to have the logger call a
.runAt to background schedule a function just for shipping logsnvm just found https://docs.convex.dev/production/integrations/log-streams/ idk how i didnt find it before lol

Yeah log streaming integration is the way. But if you do use a service that doesn't have an integration,
runAt() is the correct approach, nothing hacky about it. Especially because sending logs means using fetch, so it has to happen in a separate function for queries and mutaitons anyway.
