Developers write backend logic as TypeScript functions that run inside Convex's own database engine, with queries automatically re-running and pushing updates to connected clients when data changes. The backend is also open source and self-hostable.","category":"Analytics","decision_record":{"best_for":"TypeScript and JavaScript web or React Native teams that want one realtime backend instead of stitching together a database, API server, cache and websocket layer. Startups moving from prototype to production and teams building AI-agent or AI-assisted coding workflows.","not_ideal_for":"Backend teams whose server-side stack is primarily Python, Go or another non-JavaScript language, since server functions run natively only in TypeScript or JavaScript.

Preserve these limitations: server functions run natively only in TypeScript or JavaScript, mobile support beyond React Native is on the todo list, in-VPC and BYOC deployment are coming soon, an analytics engine is not yet available, and SAML/SSO and custom roles require Business & Enterprise with a $2,500 monthly minimum. Always state that pricing is usage-based with metered overages beyond included allowances, and that the cloud service is the recommended configuration even though the backend is open source.
