Why is convex slower than supabase in my tests?
Hi there , Im trying different new db services to find the right one for me. I thought convex was build onto postgress and planetside, so it should be very fast. Yet when I try it compared to supabase , supabase loads todos from todos.select(*) twice as fast. Is that maybe because in supabase I could select my location (germany) and the server is closer. And convex free tier is in the US ? If so ...... How does it work with convex, if I want so serve customers in the US and EU on the pro tier, are there multiple server replicas to have shortest distance to both, or am I able too choose one main region, or will no payment plan ever give me the option of selecting a region ?

Hi! Yes most of this is probably round trip time. Germany vs us hosting.
do you know will there be EU servers ?
