Convex

Convex.dev replaced the usual Firebase or Supabase stack. It handles real-time data and backend logic without any manual API or database plumbing. No setup, no schema headaches — just fast development.

Convex handled the backend and real-time sync so effortlessly that I almost forgot I had a backend. Everything just worked — from local data to live collaboration — without needing to set up a single API endpoint or deal with servers. It’s honestly the kind of tool that lets you focus on building instead of wiring stuff together.

Real-time database with TypeScript that just works. No complex setup needed!

Convex delivers real-time reactivity and scalability natively, which is missing in most legacy database solutions. Its open-source nature allows for flexible customization and transparency, empowering developers to build dynamic apps without managing complex backend infrastructure. The developer experience, tooling, and active community are superior compared to proprietary database platforms.

Real-time backend that just works. Convex handled all the data syncing and made the reactive architecture possible without wrestling with WebSockets or complex state management.

QuickCV is powered by Convex—the open‑source reactive database. Live queries, end‑to‑end types, and zero glue code let us ship real‑time resumes fast. Huge thanks to the Convex team for the stellar DX and support!

Convex makes it super easy to handle real-time data in FindItBuddy. I don’t need to set up servers or manage complex APIs—everything just updates instantly. Compared to alternatives, it saves me a lot of time and gives me confidence that the data will always stay in sync.

Convex has been the most fun I've had with a database in years. While the mutations had a slight learning curve, once it clicked, development became incredibly fast and intuitive. It was the key that unlocked the final vision for GritPath OS and is now a permanent part of my toolkit for future projects

Special thanks to @convex_dev — you’ve completely changed how I feel about building full-stack apps.

Convex didn’t just become my backend — it became a full-time team member in my starter kit. I honestly can’t imagine replacing it.

From type safety, real-time sync, and serverless functions to the seamless dev-to-prod flow, amazing docs, and supportive team — everything just works, and works beautifully.

As a frontend developer, Convex made backend complexity feel approachable and fun — and that inspired me to keep building app after app.

You made me fall in love with full-stack development. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙌

Snappy persistence; optimistic UI makes it feel local. Infra disappears behind UX.

Convex made building SubWatch's real-time subscription tracking incredibly fast. The type-safe backend with automatic API generation meant I could focus on features instead of plumbing. Their reactive database updates subscriptions instantly across all user sessions, and the built-in auth system saved days of implementation time.

Convex has been a great fit for Uhpenry because it eliminates the complexity of managing backend infrastructure. It offers a fully reactive, serverless data layer that integrates seamlessly with the frontend, making it easier to build real-time, responsive features without wiring together databases, APIs, and cron jobs manually. Compared to alternatives like Firebase or Supabase, Convex provides a simpler mental model with fewer moving parts, strong TypeScript support, and built-in authentication that aligns well with Uhpenry’s needs. It lets me move faster and focus on product logic instead of plumbing.

Convex has been a game-changer for building EventyFlo. It handles both the backend logic and real-time database in one unified system — which helped me move much faster. Compared to Firebase or a traditional backend setup, Convex feels way more modern and developer-friendly. The built-in reactivity and TypeScript support made the experience smooth and scalable from day one.
