Storing remote MDX in a database as raw markdown or AST?

[Matt2012]

There might not be a right or wrong answer to this but I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on this?

I am storing the mdx in a database to allow users of my app to edit it online.

I could either leave all the processing to the client or have a online function convert it to AST and store that in another column, and have the fumadocs site process from the AST.

I'm leaning towards that as it feels more efficient but I'm interested in what people think ?

I think markdown is enough, AST can be parsed very fast from markdown content using remark
