Can I use this for background jobs?

Absolutely, the skill provides patterns for setting up both recurring cron jobs and one-off delayed function executions within the Convex ecosystem.

How does it handle database performance?

The skill emphasizes using withIndex() instead of filter() to ensure queries are highly performant and scalable as your data grows.

Does this skill support Convex actions?

Yes, it includes specific guidelines for Actions, including calling external APIs and utilizing the Node.js runtime for tasks that queries and mutations cannot perform.

Does it enforce type safety for return values?

Yes, a core rule of this skill is to always include return validators, using v.null() even for void functions to maintain full type safety across the stack.

Database Management

Streamlines the creation of type-safe Convex backends with optimized schemas, queries, and serverless functions.

About

This skill empowers developers to build robust, scalable Convex backends by providing standardized guidelines for TypeScript functions, schema definitions, and efficient database querying. It ensures that every query, mutation, and action follows best practices, including mandatory argument validation and proper index usage, while also facilitating complex patterns like scheduled jobs, real-time data subscriptions, and file storage management.

Key Features

1,190 GitHub stars
Optimized schema design patterns with index-driven query guidance
Support for internal and public queries, mutations, and serverless actions
Standardized function syntax with mandatory type validators for args and returns
Implementation guides for scheduled crons and delayed function execution
Best practices for Convex file storage and metadata management

Use Cases

Defining a strictly typed database schema for a new Convex project
Optimizing real-time data subscriptions using advanced indexing techniques
Implementing secure server-side logic and external API integrations via Actions
