Should I use Convex Ents instead of ctx.db?
The built-in ctx.db is maintained by Convex and is guaranteed stable (existing
code will continue to work) until the next major version of Convex.
Convex Ents are a bleeding-edge community project, which might evolve over time,
with no guarantee on backwards compatibility for now (similar to
convex-helpers).
If your project involves a lot of relationships between tables, give Convex Ents a try and let us know on Discord (opens in a new tab) how it goes.
Should I use rules?
Rules for enforcing authorization rules are an advanced
feature, and come with a drawback: It is less clear from code what is happening
under the hood. Any retrieval from a table which has a read rule set up
essentially adds an in-JS filter and can also read more documents than
requested.
Try out rules if you have a need for them and are confident that you can reason about the performance of your code with rules in-place.
