Source: [Console review]() Website: [https://www.convex.dev/]() Profile updated: 2026-10-16 ## Supported tech stack Research checked: 2026-10-11 ### Integrates with - TypeScript (Language) Source: [Research source]() Documented compatibility; coverage may be incomplete. Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. Official site explicitly describes TypeScript backend functions. ## Console’s review — 2022-10-27 Reviewed: 2022-10-27 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Makes it easy to build a live-updating web app with a document database. Strictly-typed fully relational schemas defined in code (optional, but recommended). Data mutations are automatically reflected and re-rendered. Built-in dashboard and logging. Can deploy to a hosting provider like Netlify or Vercel, and Convex handles the backend. ### Tradeoffs TypeScript only. All functions must be deterministic, so you need to call external functions to call third-party APIs e.g. Stripe, Vercel functions, etc. Convex provides a client to share the state with those functions.
