Convex is a reactive backend platform for application developers, designed to stay in sync with developers and their agents. Its core philosophy is "full speed ahead, no breakdowns," providing an integrated backend with database, functions, workflows, sync, search, file storage, and more, all written in TypeScript with no glue code required.
Main capabilities include: ACID transactions ensure that concurrent writes do not corrupt data; end-to-end type safety catches hallucinated code produced by agents before it ships; automatic caching and scaling keep applications from going down even when they go viral; real-time sync lets users see the latest data immediately. In addition, it supports model calls and background jobs, with built-in retries, backoff, and parallel processing; multi-step processes can be checkpointed, retried, and resumed; built-in threads, context, and vector search.
How to use: you can create a new project with npm create convex@latest, and use it with any model, any agent, and any editor.
Use cases: suitable for application developers building production-grade applications, allowing them to get set up quickly and scale for decades to come.
Limitations: Enterprise VPC deployment is coming soon. Other specific limitations, pricing, rates, platform, and similar information are not yet provided.
