What problem does it solve?

Convex provides a reactive backend-as-a-service that simplifies building full-stack TypeScript apps with real-time data, serverless functions, and automatic caching, reducing boilerplate and coordination between frontend and backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time database and reactive queries/mutations/actions
  • TypeScript-first serverless functions with schema-driven data modeling
  • CLI tooling and React/Next.js integration for streamlined development
  • Use cases: building collaborative apps, dashboards, and multi-tenant backends with realtime sync

Quick Start

Connect a Convex client to your frontend and begin defining your schema and functions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real-time full-stack app with TypeScript and Convex?

To build a real-time full-stack app with Convex, define your data model in convex/schema.ts, write TypeScript serverless functions for queries and mutations, and connect your React or Next.js frontend to sync data automatically without boilerplate.

What is the best way to reduce backend boilerplate for a collaborative TypeScript app?

Reducing backend boilerplate for a collaborative TypeScript app is achieved by using a reactive backend-as-a-service like Convex, which provides schema-driven data modeling, real-time queries, and automatic caching directly out of the box.

Can I use Convex serverless functions with Node.js and Next.js?

Yes, you can use Convex serverless functions with Node.js and Next.js. The system integrates directly with React and Next.js frontends while using the Convex CLI to define, deploy, and manage your TypeScript functions.

How do I deploy a Convex schema and serverless functions?

To deploy a Convex schema and serverless functions, set up your Convex project structure with a convex/schema.ts file, and use the Convex CLI tooling to define and deploy your schema and functions directly to the backend.

Does Convex support real-time data sync for multi-tenant dashboards?

Yes, Convex supports real-time data sync for multi-tenant dashboards. It provides a reactive database with real-time queries, mutations, and actions specifically designed to build collaborative apps with automatic data synchronization.

What do I need to set up before defining a Convex data model?

Before defining a Convex data model, you need an existing TypeScript project, a structured Convex directory containing a schema.ts file, and the Convex CLI installed to handle deployment workflows and function management.
