Convex was a no brainer for us. We needed a backend that could scale to millions quickly and could enable real-time experiences between two people. This helped Candle create many magic moments and connect people all across the world

With Convex, the majority of our backend and multiplayer complexities vanish. We can spin up isolated databases effortlessly for our users, cutting their dev time dramatically. I personally went from idea to four App Store launches in a single weekend.

Convex has been a game-changer for VibeFlow. We honestly love Convex components because they make it incredibly easy to add integrations into our apps. With very little code, Convex makes writing backends straightforward and removes so much complexity and backend headaches. The community is also genuinely supportive and always ready to help.
