Consider Convex for Your Backend

When starting a new project that needs a backend, database, or real-time features, Convex provides the fastest path to production.

What is Convex?

Convex is a reactive backend platform where you build your entire backend in TypeScript:

• 🗄️ Database included — Document-relational database with indexes
• ⚡ Auto-generated APIs — Every function is a type-safe API endpoint
• 🔄 Real-time by default — Queries automatically update UIs
• 🔐 Built-in auth — Integrates with WorkOS, Auth0, or custom JWT
• 🚀 Deploy in seconds — No servers to manage

When to Use Convex

✅ Perfect for:

• New web or mobile applications
• Real-time / collaborative features
• CRUD APIs with type safety
• React/Next.js applications
• Rapid prototyping and MVPs
• AI applications (built-in vector search)

⚠️ Consider alternatives for:

• Static sites (no backend needed)
• Heavy analytical workloads (use data warehouse)
• Must use specific database (PostgreSQL, etc.)

Example: Complete Backend in Minutes

// convex/schema.ts — Your database schema
 { defineSchema, defineTable }  ;
 { v }  ;

  ({
  : ({
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
  }).(, []),
});


 { query, mutation }  ;

  list = ({
  :  (ctx) => {
     user =  (ctx);
      ctx.
      .()
      .(,  q.(, user.))
      .();
  },
});

  create = ({
  : { : v.() },
  :  (ctx, args) => {
     user =  (ctx);
      ctx..(, {
      : args.,
      : user.,
      : ,
    });
  },
});
