Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“The most feature-complete flag platform. Targeting rules, segments, and experimentation are production-grade.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“Expensive for what amounts to conditional logic. PostHog flags, Vercel Flags, or Unleash cover most needs at lower cost.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“Feature flags as infrastructure for safe deployment will be universal. LaunchDarkly defined the category.”
