System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides best-practice patterns and tooling guidance for evolving Convex schemas safely, enabling adding new fields, backfilling data, removing deprecated fields, and reworking indexes without downtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backfilling: incrementally populate new fields without locking or downtime.
  • Index migrations: add or adjust indexes to support new queries.
  • Safe deprecations: gradually remove fields after code paths stop using them.
  • Migration tracking: keep a record of migration runs and progress to prevent duplicates.
  • Use Case: Deploying a new optional field across a user table and backfilling existing users.

Quick Start

Kick off a named migration with startMigration, then incrementally backfill data, update indexes, and complete the migration.
