The serverless revolution deserves more than just a serverless database
Blog post from Convex
The serverless revolution, driven by platforms such as Netlify and Vercel, has significantly changed how developers build applications by removing the need for traditional infrastructure management and allowing them to focus on product development. This shift has enabled developers to deploy scalable applications with ease but still leaves one major challenge: managing distributed state and end-to-end data management, which remains complex and requires substantial backend engineering. Convex emerges as a solution, offering a backend platform that simplifies managing persistent state by automatically updating browser components and tracking changes to backend data using simple queries in JavaScript or TypeScript. Convex aims to complete the serverless vision by providing a seamless integration of cloud functions, databases, and real-time updates, making data management as effortless as other aspects of serverless development.
