Components Guide
If you're building on Convex and need to break up a monolithic backend, this teaches you their component architecture. Components are isolated mini-backends with their own schema, functions, and data that expose clean APIs to your main app. The guide covers the official library (auth, storage, payments, AI utilities) and patterns like sibling components that work alongside each other. The key constraint is that components can't call each other or access parent tables, which keeps boundaries clean but means your main app orchestrates everything. It's genuinely useful if you want reusable backend modules without actually deploying microservices, though you need to be bought into the Convex ecosystem for this to matter.
