Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
