What is Convex?
Convex is a hosted backend platform for TypeScript apps, combining a document database with server functions and real-time updates.
What does it do?
Stores documents and runs queries, mutations and actions written in TypeScript, pushing results to clients reactively so the UI updates without polling. Also handles scheduling, cron jobs, file storage, text search and auth integrations.
Who is it for?
React, Next.js and React Native developers building real-time or collaborative apps who want one typed backend instead of wiring together a database, API layer and websocket service.
What are the alternatives to Convex?
Supabase gives you Postgres with generated APIs, Firebase is the long-established hosted option, and Appwrite and PocketBase can be self-hosted.
