What is convex?

Convex is a modern backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform built for application developers to create dynamic, real-time applications without the complexity of managing infrastructure. It offers a reactive document-relational database, seamless real-time synchronization between frontend and backend, and a full TypeScript development environment. Convex automatically synchronizes data and code changes, eliminating the need for manual state management, cache invalidation, or WebSocket handling. Its architecture ensures strong transactional guarantees and consistent application state, enabling production-grade applications to scale with confidence.

Key Features of convex?

Document-Relational Database
Store JSON-like documents with relational capabilities and automatically re-execute queries when dependent data changes, ensuring real-time updates.
TypeScript-First Backend Functions
Backend logic—including queries, mutations, and actions—is written entirely in TypeScript, providing full type safety and IDE support to streamline development.
Automatic Real-Time Synchronization
Client libraries maintain real-time UI synchronization with the backend and database via WebSocket, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Transactional Mutations
All database changes execute as atomic transactions, ensuring data consistency and preventing partial updates.
Built-in Authentication and Scheduling
Native support for authentication, cron-style scheduled tasks, and backend workflows efficiently addresses common backend requirements.
Scalable Component Architecture
Offers reusable backend components such as asynchronous task queues, counters, and geospatial queries to accelerate the addition of new features.
