A guide to using Convex for state management

Modern frontend frameworks like React have simplified state management, but solutions like Convex take ease a step further by managing global state in a way that is less cumbersome for developers. This tutorial guides users through building a full-stack Next.js application with Convex for global state management, including setting up data queries and updates. The process involves setting up a Next.js project, integrating Convex for state management, and securing the application with Auth0 for user authentication. Convex's serverless, developer-first platform aligns well with React and offers features like optimistic updates and subscriptions, making it a scalable choice for real-time applications. The tutorial also covers deploying the application to Vercel and highlights the potential for using advanced features to enhance application performance. By the end of the tutorial, users will have a deployed application that can handle global state efficiently, demonstrating the power of Convex in modern web development.
