Convex offers an integrated backend model where database state, function execution, and client updates are tied together in a real-time workflow.

Key Features

• Reactive Data Flow: Push updates to clients when backend state changes.
• Integrated Database Layer: Manage application data without stitching many services.
• Backend Functions: Build app logic in a platform-managed runtime.
• Live Sync Behavior: Support collaborative and dynamic app experiences.
