How hard is it to migrate AWAY from Convex?

The text explores the process of migrating away from Convex, an open-source backend platform that offers a variety of features like cloud functions, a database, file storage, scheduling, and real-time updates. It highlights the challenges of Convex's lock-in due to its unique features and how its functions, queries, and mutations, which are transactional, can be challenging to replicate. By utilizing Tanstack Start and Drizzle ORM, the author demonstrates how to replace Convex's functions and database interactions with alternatives that reduce lock-in. The text acknowledges the increased complexity and infrastructure management involved in the migration process, suggesting that while it is feasible to replicate Convex's features, it might be more efficient to self-host Convex if cloud lock-in is a concern. It also notes that migrating to Convex could simplify projects by offloading complex implementations. The article concludes by emphasizing the trade-off between the convenience of Convex's integrated solutions and the complexity of managing custom implementations.
