Fetch data and perform business logic with strong consistency by writing pure TypeScript. Convex provides a database, a place to write your server functions, and client libraries. It makes it easy to build and scale dynamic live-updating apps. [Read the docs to learn more](https://docs.convex.dev/understanding/). Development of the Convex backend is led by the Convex team. We [welcome bug fixes](./CONTRIBUTING.md) and [love receiving feedback](https://discord.gg/convex). We keep this repository synced with any internal development work within a handful of days. ## Getting Started Visit our [documentation](https://docs.convex.dev/) to learn more about Convex and follow our getting started guides. The easiest way to build with Convex is through our [cloud platform](https://www.convex.dev/plans), which includes a generous free tier and lets you focus on building your application without worrying about infrastructure. Many small applications and side-projects can operate entirely on the free tier with zero cost and zero maintenance. ## Self Hosting The self-hosted product includes most features of the cloud product, including the dashboard and CLI. Self-hosted Convex works well with a variety of tools including Neon, Fly.io, Vercel, Netlify, RDS, Sqlite, Postgres, and more. You can either use Docker (recommended) or a prebuilt binary to self host Convex. Check out our [self-hosting guide](./self-hosted/README.md) for detailed instructions. Community support for self-hosting is available in the `#self-hosted` channel on [Discord](https://discord.gg/convex). ## Community & Support - Join our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/convex) for help and discussions. - Report issues when building and using the open source Convex backend through [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/issues) ## Building from source See [BUILD.md](./BUILD.md). ## Disclaimers - If you choose to self-host, we recommend following the self-hosting guide. If you are instead building from source, make sure to change your instance secret and admin key from the defaults in the repo. - Convex is battle tested most thoroughly on Linux and Mac. On Windows, it has less experience. If you run into issues, please message us on [Discord](https://convex.dev/community) in the `#self-hosted` channel. - Convex self-hosted builds contain a beacon to help Convex improve the product. The information is minimal and anonymous and helpful to Convex, but if you really want to disable it, you can set the `--disable-beacon` flag on the backend binary. The beacon's messages print in the log and only include - A random identifier for your deployment (not used elsewhere) - Migration version of your database - Git rev of the backend - Uptime of the backend ## Repository layout - `crates/` contains Rust code - Main binary - `local_backend/` is an application server on top of the `Runtime`. This is the serving edge for the Convex cloud. - `npm-packages/` contains both our public and internal TypeScript packages. - Internal packages - `udf-runtime/` sets up the user-defined functions JS environment for queries and mutations - `udf-tests/` is a collection of functions used in testing the isolate layer - `system-udfs/` contains functions used by the Convex system e.g. the CLI
