Convex mutations handle data updates and state mutations by enforcing strict argument validation before modifying the database. This ensures reliable data operations and prevents runtime errors during application state changes.

Convex HTTP actions handle external API calls and webhooks by providing a structured server-side endpoint with strict argument validation. This enables reliable third-party integrations and data ingestion within your Convex application workflow.

Convex functions support both small tools and large-scale platforms by providing a unified function framework with strict validation and error handling. This ensures reliable data operations, state mutations, and external API integrations across any application scale.

Start with Convex queries and mutations by installing the Convex tooling, then implement a simple getUser query and updateStatus mutation with argument validators. This demonstrates end-to-end behavior for data retrieval and state updates.

Use internal functions for sensitive Convex operations when you need to restrict direct client access while maintaining server-side execution. They provide secure argument validation and error handling for privileged queries, mutations, and actions.
