Architecture Diagram
My company's infosec department requires an architecture diagram so they can assess "risk".
Normally they require that we add ip restriction to our DBs, but I'm trying to argue that shouldn't be the case for modern web applications (that are more focused on OLTP), but rather for OLAP use cases.
Does anyone know of an official one? It appears that you need paid support to talk to anyone from convex.

This is what the architecture of the managed (cloud) version of Convex look like. In particular when using Convex, clients always access the database through Convex functions, which are meant to be publicly accessible. The only other ways are the Convex web dashboard and Convex data export via Fivetran/Airbyte, but all of them are meant to exposed to the public internet and require authentication for access

Thank you!
