Convex
Also known as: Convex / コンベックス
A TypeScript-native reactive backend platform that bundles a database, serverless functions, real-time subscriptions, and file storage in one service. Its reactive queries from the frontend are a defining feature.
Overview
Convex allows clients to issue reactive queries so database changes automatically propagate to the UI. It is a next-generation BaaS where schema, server-side logic, and auth are all written in TypeScript.
Comparison with Supabase and Firebase
Supabase excels with PostgreSQL and SQL capabilities; Firebase shines in the Google ecosystem. Convex suits developers who prioritize TypeScript consistency and reactive architecture.
