Your app data, always in sync.
Convex is a powerful backend platform that combines a database, server-side logic, and real-time syncing into one simple system. When data changes in your app, Convex instantly pushes those updates to every user — no refreshing, no lag, no extra work.
What makes Convex worth launching.
When data changes, every user sees the update instantly — no page refreshes or manual reloads needed.
Browse, search, filter, and edit your app's data from an easy-to-use interface without writing a single line of code.
Upload images, videos, documents, and other files directly through your app with no separate storage service required.
Set up automatic background jobs like sending daily reports, cleaning up old data, or running recurring actions on a timer.
Find exactly what you need with vector-based search that understands meaning, not just keywords — great for AI-powered features.
Join thousands of developers building with Convex, with an active Discord community, regular updates, and a growing ecosystem of plugins and integrations.
If you fit one of these, Convex is probably built for you.

Show real-time data like sales numbers, user activity, or server metrics that update automatically without anyone hitting refresh.
Build instant messaging features where new messages appear for everyone the moment they're sent, with no delays or polling.
Run a content management system where updates to pages, products, or posts go live immediately across your entire site.
Convex is a reactive database and backend platform that makes building modern web apps easier than ever. Think of it as the engine behind your app — it stores all your data, runs your app's behind-the-scenes logic, and keeps everything synced in real time across every device. When one user makes a change, that update flows instantly to everyone else automatically. Convex comes with a built-in dashboard where you can see, search, and manage all your app data visually. It also includes file storage, scheduled tasks, and vector search capabilities out of the box. Whether you're building a collaboration tool, a chat app, or a content management system, Convex handles the hard parts so you can focus on making something great.
Convex is the all-in-one backend that handles data storage, server logic, and real-time syncing so you don't need to stitch together separate tools. App builders love it because it replaces the complexity of managing databases, APIs, and WebSocket connections with one unified system. Your data updates flow instantly to every user, and the built-in dashboard lets you see and manage everything visually. With file storage, scheduled tasks, and vector search included, Convex gives you everything you need to launch a modern, responsive app.
