About
Convex is a full cloud backend platform designed to empower developers to build fast, reliable, and dynamic applications. It replaces databases, server functions, and backend logic, keeping your app in sync with real-time updates. Developers can express their entire backend, from database schemas to queries, from auth to APIs, in pure TypeScript. The platform offers AI-generated code for exceptional accuracy and supports various frameworks like React, Next.js, Python, and Rust. Convex features a custom real-time database engine, server-side functions, and actions for external service integration. It simplifies complex backend engineering and database administration, providing automatic scaling, type-checking, and auto-completion. Convex is also open-source for self-hosting and is SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant.

FAQs
Is Convex a database?
Yes, but it is a lot more than this. Convex is a full cloud backend designed to replace your database, server functions, backend functionality, and the interface all the way out to your application.
What makes Convex realtime?
Convex’s realtime database tracks all dependencies for every query function. Whenever any dependency changes, Convex reruns the query function and triggers an update to any active subscription on the client.
Where do Convex functions run?
Convex functions run server-side in an isolated execution environment within the Convex database itself, providing direct access to data, scheduling, storage, and general purpose actions.
What database does Convex use?
Convex has a custom database engine designed to support live reactivity, incremental schema, and automatic scaling. Durability is provided by a write-ahead log stored on AWS RDS.
How is Convex different than Supabase?
Supabase packages existing technologies; Convex rethinks application stitching, designing query/mutation functions as full database transactions that automatically update web or native apps.
Can Convex talk to external services like OpenAI or Stripe?
Yes, Convex provides 'actions' function types designed to interact with the outside world. They integrate seamlessly with your backend, though without the same realtime guarantees.
Is Convex open source?
Yes! You can clone, build, and run the open-source Convex backend on your own hardware. Client libraries, utility libraries, and demo projects are also available on GitHub.
Do I have to use TypeScript to use Convex?
Convex is a great fit for web apps built in TypeScript or JavaScript. It also supports Python and Rust clients, and an HTTP client for other languages. Server functions run natively in TS/JS.
Can I try Convex for free?
Yes! Convex offers free plans for smaller applications and prototypes, with paid plans available for larger applications, designed to be cheaper than self-hosting infrastructure.
Can I build mobile apps using Convex?
Many developers are successfully building mobile applications using Convex with React Native, and additional mobile support is a planned future enhancement.
