Convex is a global state management platform designed for dynamic application developers, allowing them to transform local React apps into fully-distributed applications deployed globally on Netlify. By using Convex, developers can obviate the need for complex error-prone application logic and easily manage global state, including deploying a backend, interacting with a database, caching, and synchronizing data between client and server. The platform provides a backend database to store state, allows querying of state via server functions written in JavaScript or TypeScript, and includes client libraries that synchronize state between client and server. With Convex, developers can create global applications with automatic rerendering of browser components when the output of a server function changes, eliminating the need for manual synchronization of data.
