Convex
A better type of backend
Convex is a full-stack TypeScript development platform that keeps you focused on your product. Use our realtime database to build apps that are reactive by default. Integrate OpenAI into your workflows with builtin functions, scheduling, and vector search.
Hey everyone! I'm Jamie, one of the creators of Convex.
Before Convex, the founders built and ran custom database and storage systems with petabytes of data, millions of requests per second, and billions of users. We managed backend platforms that desperately tried to keep up with the needs of thousands of frontend engineers.
What we learned is that traditional databases and backend engineering just aren't good enough anymore.
There's just too much time spent on stuff that has nothing to do with your product! Gluing your frontend to your backend, your backend to your database. Managing caches. Waiting for minute-long cloud deployments to test new code. Piping obscure config to Kubernetes.
Instead of all this, we believe that you should write your entire full-stack app the same way that you write your front-end. The same methods for abstraction, composition, type safety, and tooling.
And now with Convex, you can. Convex is a full-stack TypeScript development platform. It replaces your database, cloud functions, containers, caches, all of it–with a few thoughtfully designed TypeScript libraries that help you sync and store your backend state.
Convex ships with:
👉 Out-of-the-box realtime capabilities
👉 Type-safe functions and APIs by default
👉 Convex Actions to enable common third-party API patterns like AI services
👉 An ACID compliant database that enables fully transactional operations
👉 Support for writing cloud functions, cron jobs, and more in pure TypeScript
👉 An amazing dashboard that has your back in development and production
We'd love everyone's thoughts and suggestions as we continue to ship.

Who hunted Convex?
Convex was hunted by Abhi Vaidyanatha. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
