Practice safe vibing with scoped deployment keys

Replying to @Dayhaysoos @convex
Hi Nick! We just shipped deploy keys with custom permissions. These let you ensure your agent only has access to safe actions. You can create a deploy key from your deployment settings (dashboard.convex.dev/deploym…)

I just added the full Convex CLI docs to the Convex docs website. You might not be reading docs in 2026, but your agent definitely does!
The URL: docs.convex.dev/cli, and a screenshot of the docs for the “npx convex logs” command.

In the next version of Convex We show more clearly the deployment you’re using! Nice to have when working on multiple deployments at the same time

We now offer @CMUDB's Database Systems course offline to incarcerated students across US prisons. No WiFi, completely free. Locked in by the system, freed by the lock manager: db.cs.cmu.edu/2026/05/cmudb-… Thanks to @convex for helping make sure the database game is for everybody.
