For the new version of Polyglotta app we've migrated the database from mongo to Convex, and it's been an extremely pleasant experience! DX matters. Convex nails it.

I've been using Convex on a personal passion project for about a month now and it's just been a dream. The developer experience is fantastic and a true joy to learn. I think you've nailed the convention over configuration paradigm—I can't remember being this excited for a platform since my Rails days. Well done and many thanks!

Absolutely the best product! The team is very active on Discord and they take suggestions and actins very fast! Convex team is awesome. I made a suggestion a few days ago on Discord about the tour. I am checking the tour again and find out the tutorial is already updated with Together AI! I can't wait for another great product/feature/service from Convex especially CMS.

I’ve been using Convex for 3 months as a solo developer, and it has streamlined my backend development. The platform’s real-time data and serverless setup made it quick to start and easy to manage complex tasks, saving me a lot of time.

We've used convex for three-four of months now. The dev team is really exited about it. DX is epic. Pub/sub is auto-on, everything updates instantly. Realtime! Convex makes development so much faster.

Convex gives front end devs the power to build incredibly fast and reactive backends without worry. If you use typescript, and React, or Vue, or any other front end language, you'll be amazed at how fast you can go!
