About Convex

Convex is a reactive database platform for app developers that lets you express the entire backend—including schemas, queries, auth, and APIs—in pure TypeScript. It targets full-stack teams building real-time apps and aims to keep frontend, backend, and database in sync while reducing boilerplate.

Key Features

When you’re building a real-time app, Convex surfaces the core backend tasks in a code-first workflow, keeping the app code, backend logic, and data in sync:

Everything is code

Express every part of the backend in TypeScript; your code sits next to the app, is typechecked and autocompleted, and AI-generated with high accuracy.

Always in sync

Real-time propagation of changes across frontend, backend, and database, so you don’t need separate state managers or websockets.

Backend built-ins

Cron jobs, AI workflows, built-in auth, and a growing ecosystem of components installable with npm i.

Self-hosted/local development

Run Convex on your own infrastructure and develop locally.

Summary

Best for full-stack product teams, frontend engineers, and startups shipping real-time apps with strong type safety.
