Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
