Plan and execute Convex schema migrations safely, including adding fields, creating tables, and data transformations to preserve existing data and minimize downtime.
Provide your migration plan and then run the internal migration mutation to backfill data and switch to the new schema.

To safely migrate Convex schemas with zero downtime, apply additive changes first and backfill existing data using internal mutations. This preserves production availability while executing data transformations without interruption.
Common zero-downtime migration patterns include adding optional fields, creating new tables, adding indexes, renaming fields, and splitting structures. These patterns rely on additive changes paired with batch data backfills.
A data backfill is needed during a schema migration when changes affect existing data, such as adding required fields or splitting structures. Backfills update historical records to match the new schema safely.
Execute a data backfill without downtime by running internal migration mutations that process data in batches. This allows controlled rollout and data transformation while the application continues serving traffic.
The best way to rename fields without breaking queries is an additive zero-downtime migration. Create the new field, backfill data from the old field, update application code, and then remove the old field.
