Clerk Webhook for User Creation - is this really suitable?
The docs recommend using a web to store user data from clerk into a Users table in Convex.
Not entirely sure this is a suitable method as webhooks are considered brittle, and so if we have to implement a fallback of sorts, should this really be the recommended option for external auth? Perhaps the docs could recommend using the Clerk User object and a mutation (or even better, build a convex-helper function). https://clerk.com/docs/references/javascript/user/user
Would like to know your thoughts.

sveltekit & authentication
I'm at a loss on how I'm meant to authenticate a user in a sveltekit app.
Due to the docs being focused on react, I went with Clerk (which works), but not sure what I ought to be calling to authenticate with Convex now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
