Why We Chose Convex for Real-Time Features

When building FluxKit, we evaluated dozens of backend solutions. We needed something that could handle real-time updates, scale effortlessly, and provide an excellent developer experience.

Convex stood out for several reasons:

Real-time by Default

Every query in Convex is reactive. When data changes, your UI updates automatically. No websockets to manage, no polling logic to write.

Type Safety

Convex generates TypeScript types from your schema, giving you end-to-end type safety from database to UI.

Serverless Functions

Write your backend logic in TypeScript functions that scale automatically. No servers to manage, no infrastructure to configure.

Built-in Authentication

Convex handles authentication with multiple providers out of the box, making it easy to secure your application.

The result? We can build features that would take weeks with traditional stacks in just days with Convex.
