Convex Migrate

Live-data backfill with @convex-dev/migrations, not Prisma

Convex · Apache-2.0

When

Migrate schema and backfill data on a deployed Convex app using @convex-dev/migrations. Stage the schema change (new fields optional first), write a backfill that makes old rows valid, run it, verify, then tighten the validator. Use for live Convex data migrations. Not Prisma, not Drizzle, not neon-postgres-branches.

The Catch

Live-data backfill on Convex, not Prisma. Tightening a validator before backfill rejects existing rows. Loud Free/Starter card.
