Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
