general sentiment I got from ppl who tried to self-host at one point is: just pay for the cloud when it comes to deploying the new version, aside from the steps for exporting and re-importing the data snapshot, you would also need to know what new environment variables are being added/updated to best configure it for maximum performance on a single machine since it's not immediately ready for horizontal scaling

sorry, i take back just use their cloud part, please do proper ball-park estimate on how much your use case would likely cost, our team will have to go back to supabase for now https://x.com/cayt3r/status/1977619118791737463

Was looking to choose between @convex_dev and @supabase for building our merchants dashboard. Am totally mindblown by the price we have to pay for @convex_dev's better DX. For those who are building with @convex_dev with thousands of active users, is this accurate?
