About

Convex is a backend platform for building applications in TypeScript. It combines a reactive database, file storage, text search, vector search, auth, crons, webhooks, and Node.js actions in a single developer workflow. Backend code lives alongside application code and is typechecked, autocompleted, and used with generated APIs.

The free offering is the Free & Starter plan, which includes 1-6 developers, file storage, text search, vector search, crons, auth, Node.js actions, a health and insights dashboard, preview deployments, and a selectable data region. Resource limits on the free plan include 40 deployments, 1,000 concurrent sessions, 16 concurrent queries, 64 concurrent actions, 1M function calls per month, 20 GB-hours per month of action compute, 0.5 GB database storage, 1 GB file storage, 0.5 GB search storage, 1 GB database I/O, 3,000 search query-GBs per month, and 1 GB per month of data egress.
