Convex's compatibility
Thank you for sharing. While going throught the MCP docs, it looked like that Convex would not be compatible with MCP, as they listed support just for Postgres/SQLite. Good to see that Convex can also be integrated such open source Protocols. Would look more into it.

Convex's compatibility
This natural language workflow is bound to get more integrated especially for financial/accounting tables. Some people have raised a lot of funding on this use case itself in the Finance sector. But they are probably using raw SQL queries under the hood.

Yes, opening a secure websocket connection from an action without exposing .env variables as such. Check out this recent OpenAI real time demo by Supabase- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=envrsJ8VfAU&t=260s or this with Elevenlabs https://x.com/thorwebdev/status/1864618365110899157 where the real time websocket connection is intact for the duration of the call. Would be nice to see its code implementation.

Also, any plans for potential integration with the new emerging Typescript AI framework like mastra.ai?

Pricing
Thank you for your honest reply. Your 5th point sums up the expectations really well. Some more suggestions upon my brief interaction with Convex: 1. It would be nice if you can relax the $25 Pro plan a bit more(compute and functions) with potentially no surprise bills as such 🙂 2. Neon’s pricing seems mostly compute hours based. Could bring more rationality in pricing. However, just keep scale(extra usage) pricing reasonable enough especially for indie/2-3 developers. 3. Branding and UI could be improved. Would be better if there was more information density with a minimal yet beautiful UI. Supabase definitely has an edge here. Default dark mode and matte tones can help improve a lot. And looks like Convex is already working on it. 4. A comprehensive video walkthrough series of the docs (maybe around 5-6 hour content) explaining the concepts while tinkering with the code in an editor would have saved time. It would have provided better context about Convex and made the transition even faster for new developers. Like this video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFyRL3igPkA but for the whole docs.
5. Lastly, better up to date integrated starter templates could reduce friction even more.

Pricing
Also, if someone is reading this from the Convex team, kindly eliminate the 'hover over for more info' in the pricing table, simply introduce the details in the table itself to make it more transparent and readable. Not a good UX when you have to keep on hovering the mouse over them to get details.

Pricing
Willing to pay for their services(realtime, transactions, DX etc), but for a fair cost. It’s the surprise costs that could be annoying. Here’s the summary of their Pro plans- - Compute- 2-core ARM CPU / 1 GB RAM / Connections: Direct 60, Pooler 200 - 8 GB disk size per project (then $0.125 per GB), 250 GB bandwidth(then $0.09 per GB), 100 GB file storage(then $0.021 per GB) - 5M realtime messages(then $2.50 per Million), 2 Million Edge Functions(then $2 per 1 Million) Comparing it to Convex plan - Action compute- 250GB hours(then $0.30 per GB), 25M Function Calls - 50 GB database storage(then $0.20 per GB, 50 GB database bandwidth(then $0.20 per GB). - 100 GB file storage(then $0.03 per GB), 50 GB file bandwidth(then $0.30 per GB) - 1 GB Vector storage with 10 GB bandwidth. (then $0.10 per GB) It’s mainly the Action compute(could be made lenient and easy for scaling) and Function calls(could be eliminated altogether) that bring the surprise factor here when compared to Supabase. Not sure whether Convex’s Function calls and Supabase’s Edge Functions are the same thing. But looks like they are not. If Convex ultimately pays their own bills as per the compute used, it would be better if they charge simply on the compute with their own markup on top of it. That would simplify a lot of complications. Aim should be to bring more clarity and determinism to the monthly bills without any big surprises. Unwarranted surprises while scaling up can be deal breaker for many. Convex could definitely be a better choice, if they pull this off neatly.

Looking for something?
Hi, 1. Is convex-ents stable to be used in projects? 2. Comparing it to the current version, does it add any delay to the queries? 3. Is there any other good SaaS starter using convex-ents and convex authentication, instead of Clerk?
