About
Convex is a full-stack backend platform that lets developers define databases, queries, mutations, cron jobs, and APIs entirely in TypeScript alongside their frontend code. It provides real-time synchronization out of the box, eliminating the need for state managers, cache invalidation, or manual websocket setup. The platform includes built-in authentication, an open-source self-hosting option, and a component ecosystem installable via npm.
Problem
Building a backend requires juggling multiple tools—databases, state management, caching, websockets, and authentication—that are hard to keep in sync and type-safe.
For
full-stack and frontend developers building modern web and AI applications
How it works
Developers write backend logic (schemas, queries, mutations, cron jobs) in TypeScript next to their frontend code, and Convex automatically keeps the app in real-time sync with the database and backend state.
