About Convex
Convex is a backend-as-a-service platform created by former Dropbox infrastructure leaders that combines a real-time database, server-side functions, file storage, and scheduling into a single managed service. The platform provides automatic reactivity -- when data changes, all connected clients update instantly.
Developers write queries and mutations in pure TypeScript with guaranteed end-to-end type safety. The platform handles caching, real-time subscriptions, and conflict resolution automatically, eliminating entire categories of backend complexity.
The open-source backend (Apache 2.0 licensed) can be self-hosted, while the managed cloud platform provides a generous free tier sufficient for many small applications. Convex is popular with teams building real-time applications, collaborative tools, and AI-powered products.
