When exporting as a stream, is the order of documents deterministic? From the documentation, it looks like it’s in ascending order by id, which is perfect. I just want to double check, thank you!
Oh, further, if there is or isn’t some level of determinism, is there any way to detect when an abort is occurring, in my case when a lambda times out, and to resume from there next time?

08/01/2025, 7:07 PMAwesome, thank you! Is there anyway for me to like capture that insertion order and reuse it after a process exit?

I feel like I may not know the difference between internal id and regular id
Todd Tarsi
08/01/2025, 7:09 PMI’d really like to basically have like a maxLastID variable, and if I am going to abort because my lambda times out, resume later with like
filter_by: internal_id > maxLastID

id Copy code
"id": "d",
"id": "c",
"id": "b",
"id": "a"t

08/01/2025, 7:21 PMah, very sneaky. thanks!

08/01/2025, 7:21 PMHonestly, ordering doesn’t matter too much as long as it is consistent and I can do
filter_by: id > '111'k
