About Convex
A reactive serverless backend with a document database, storage and vector search built in.
Convex is a backend platform that gives every app a reactive document database, server functions written in TypeScript, file storage, scheduled jobs and vector search behind one API. The team launched it in 2021 in San Francisco and the founders come out of Dropbox, where they ran the storage and database groups.
For a Data Panda customer the interesting data is the project itself: the tables you defined in your schema, the documents your queries and mutations read and write, the file metadata next to your blobs, and the scheduled-job records that say what fired and when. The system fields _id and _creationTime on every document make it straightforward to land that data in a warehouse and join it to the rest of your stack.
Convex is popular with teams shipping AI apps and agentic products on top of Replit and similar AI app builders, where the reactive sync and vector search land naturally next to LLM workflows. That same data is worth more in a warehouse for everything that is not a live user request.
