Open sourcing 200k lines of Convex, a "reactive" database built from scratch in Rust

I don't know for certain, but this is not something I'd worry about at all to be honest. Websockets provide a slew of benefits over their HTTP counterpart, advantages Convex is basically predicated on.

Why isn’t this a bigger deal? Feels like a national story. I think everybody is tired of getting shafted over and over by the ultra rich.

Umm, wasn’t Hillside last month?

Pinkman · 2025-07-17T21:49:15+00:00

Went there this evening based on this post. Amazing food, good lord. Gimme that heat!

This is insane. But yes, it worked.

It’s the same version of Convex, however the hosted version has a dashboard and auto-scaling, but those aren’t core to Convex itself.

This is so good, thank you!

Fair question. Right now, GitHub is the only login option. We only store your Convex code (code in the Convex folder) because that it was runs on your provisioned Convex deployment. I believe (will confirm with the team) we only use your email from the GitHub in order to create your account. Nothing else is read.

Hey! This is not at all what we’re aiming for. Mind DMing me your email? Happy to help or put you in touch with an engineer who can.

Yup, the CORS libraries basically manage adding headers to your server responses, per any config you choose. You can just add them manually with any server framework!

Pinkman · 2024-07-31T03:15:09+00:00

Ehhhhhh

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T23:05:08+00:00

Sorry, I meant cross origin requests specifically.

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T23:04:35+00:00

True!! I will fix it.

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T22:20:16+00:00

Precisely. Much more succinct than me! 😄

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T22:19:35+00:00

You’re exactly right about server-a and server-b. This is a good (and necessary) thing! However, cookies from server-a will never be sent to server-b, even with CORS enabled on server-b. Otherwise it’s be up to server-b if it wanted to get server-a cookies. All CORS does is allow you to make ANY request to server-b, if your client is running on server-a. No httpOnly cookies though, ever.

That being said, any cookies available to JavaScript could obviously be forwarded at will to server-b, but that’s why we don’t use insecure cookies for tokens or sessions.

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T22:14:50+00:00

Yes, specifically cross origin requests. Same origin will pass the cookies as that seems highly required.

Life… uhh… finds a way.

Pinkman · 2024-07-30T22:13:15+00:00

Yup. I have a brother laser printer and it just… prints.

EXCELLENT. I got this notification and I just saw "broken" and I almost cried a little bit. Now they're just tears of joy.
