Convex is a managed backend platform for TypeScript applications with a reactive database, server functions, real-time synchronization, and integrated development tools.
The company built Convex as a backend-as-a-service that closely connects data state and application logic with typed full-stack development.
A schema describes document tables and indexes. Queries read deterministically and update subscribed clients automatically; mutations change data transactionally, while actions call external systems. Deployment, authentication, file storage, and scheduling are integrated into the platform.
Queries, mutations, and actions separate reads, writes, and external effects.
Data dependencies automatically refresh clients after relevant changes.
Runtime, storage, and deployment operate as an integrated service.
Convex fits interactive TypeScript products with rapid real-time updates. Data model, function limits, cost, export and migration paths, and vendor dependency should be assessed early.
