Convex
The backend building blocks for your agents
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.
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.
