Data Region: East Asia (Tokyo)
357Support hosting Convex deployments in East Asia (Tokyo).
Dark mode for Ship
115Please add a dark mode for ship.convex.dev The light...it burns us, my precious...
direct support for persistent external connections (WebSocket, MCP, etc.)
79Right now if I want to make A WebSocket feed (e.g., financial tickers, audio, game state), An MCP server pushing updates, A live audio stream I need an intermediary service which captures and writes to convex.
Web socket disconnect triggers
30Allowing for better / immediate presence detection by running custom functions on query subscription connections / disconnections.
Native Tailscale access to deployments
377Convex already runs the deployment runtime, so embedding Tailscale via tsnet (now natively integrated with Tailscale Services) would let each deployment join a tailnet as its own node with its own IP, DNS name, certs, and ACL tags. Auth via a one-time auth key or OAuth client pasted into deployment...
Backup APIs
45APIs for programmatically issuing backups to Convex deployments.
Data Region: South East Asia
186Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam etc.
Filter-Component (Typesense/Meilisearch/Elasticsearch-Alternative)
1130We need a way to filter through tens of thousands of records in miliseconds without JavaScript client-side filtering. Component Indexes don't do the trick if you have more than say 4-5 filters for a table. I don't want to bother with setting up a typesense instance and maintaining it but I still wan...
Higher Action Memory Limits
300Certain workloads like generating a PDF or processing/zipping larger files are currently impossible with the low memory limits on actions. It would be ideal to at least have the option to specify the memory limit on actions (ideally per action like AWS Lambda). Even 1GB would be better than nothing,...
Open Telemetry / Traces Support
2003It's very useful to be able to view traces and spans for operations in logging applications like Axiom. Currently, there are some limitations that make this difficult to implement, and in some cases, impossible: The OpenTelemetry node packages require "use node", so the only place we can use the off...
Official Flutter/Dart SDK
1300Requesting an official, first-party Flutter/Dart SDK maintained by the Convex team — on par with the existing React, React Native, and JavaScript client SDKs. Why this matters Flutter is one of the fastest-growing cross-platform frameworks, powering apps across iOS, Android, web, macOS, Windows, and...
Better Monorepo support/documentation
846Would benefit from clear guidance/support on monorepos. Very strong differences exist across different documentations: turbo-expo-nextjs-clerk-convex-monorepo describes creating a package which contains convex. - Side Note with skills/agent docs: Convex cli assumes ../ as the repo root, placing all...
Proper middleware support
60I am aware of the Convex Helpers package, which allows us to write custom context objects on queries, mutations, and actions, but that only allows us to write the CTX object before the request happens and not after a response is returned. My biggest use for this would be to enable convex compatibili...
Outbound WebSocket support for server-to-server realtime integrations
202Convex actions can call external services over HTTP, but there is currently no way for Convex backend code to establish and maintain an outbound WebSocket connection to an external service. This limits an important class of backend integrations where a Convex deployment needs to subscribe to and pro...
Stripe Projects
90Stripe has a new product that allows users to provision projects from the CLI. Having access to the Convex backend services would be useful for projects that want to use Stripe payments. Some other PaaS and database vendors already offer this integration. Read the docs
Make Backend Errors More Obvious in Dev
140When running convex in dev mode and making changes that lead to an error (like a type error), its currently very easy to overlook that problem, because the error is only surfaced in the terminal where the dev process is running and the convex deployment just remains in it's previous state. It's pret...
http headers in all functions
38it is useful to have access to http headers to check ip or some custom headers from client like version or agent. currently there is no way to do it
iOS code gen
340iOS currently lacks support for typesafe generated client for convex, would be cool to have one!
A "Ship" Convex Component with Linear integration
30Give every app using Convex the ability to create their own Ship page using a dedicated Convex component. Then, provide a way for the top requests to sync directly into Linear.
Better AI
50File editing, json rendering support, faster start, native MCP Tool Support, no 10 minute timeout
