What is Convex (convex.dev)?
Convex is an open source, reactive database where queries are TypeScript code running right in the database. Just like React components react to state changes, Convex queries react to database changes.
Convex provides a database, a place to write server functions, and client libraries. It is designed to make it easy to build and scale dynamic live-updating apps. Its fully featured backend includes cloud functions, database, scheduling, and a sync engine that keeps the frontend and backend up to date in real-time.
Convex Auth integrates right into the app's backend by providing a table with all users ready to use with the rest of the app. Users can reference and read the users table directly in Convex functions to build sophisticated apps without querying a third party service to get user information.
