convex

Convex queries and mutations use built-in function builders with validators and types to ensure data integrity. Define queries to fetch data and mutations to modify it, leveraging Convex's type system to catch errors at development time and validate all inputs automatically.

Convex real-time subscriptions automatically push data changes to clients with built-in cache invalidation. Define subscription functions that return reactive data, and clients receive updates instantly when underlying data changes, eliminating manual polling.

Convex provides authentication checks and authorization patterns built into function builders. Add auth guards to queries, mutations, and actions to verify user identity and permissions, ensuring only authorized users access or modify sensitive data.

Convex supports scheduling functions to run at specified intervals and HTTP endpoints to expose backend logic via REST. Use scheduling for recurring jobs like cleanup or notifications, and HTTP APIs to integrate with external services or webhooks.

Convex provides type-safe schema definitions that map to database tables, enabling queries, mutations, and indexes. Define schemas upfront to enforce structure, then query with full type safety and use indexes to optimize performance for production workloads.

Convex deployment integrates with its CLI and hosting platform for production-ready backends. Push your functions and schemas, and Convex handles scaling, database management, and real-time synchronization automatically across edge locations.
