Building an AI agent or need a durable workflow? Day 2 of @convex.dev Vibe Week is dedicated to you. New agent framework and durable workflow engine ready to go, check out links in the reply.

Convex Vibe Week: www.convex.dev/vibe-week Day 1: Convex MCP in GA: stack.convex.dev/mcp-ga

Day 1 of @convex.dev Vibe Week is a go! Announcing official release of our MCP server folks have been trialing. Check out the vid and the links in the reply. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!

The stage is set for Convex Vibe Week, kicking off tomorrow. A week of new features that will change the way developers ship AI apps. www.convex.dev/vibe-week

Convex is hosting Vibe Week from April 7-11! We'll be announcing something that will dramatically change the way you ship AI apps.

Our official template is a single-user AI chat application, built with help from our friends at @sentry.io and making use of the amazing @convex.dev to store chat history.

Tomorrow! The All Things Web meetup at @convex.dev Talks/Demos on: - AI, IDEs, and the Future of Code Understanding. - Technical Leadership in the Age of AI. - Live-coding an image optimization pipeline. lu.ma/d6hmyonq

Convex Product updates just announced. • Free team size limit increased from 2 → 6 • Set spending limits • Production insights now free for all • New pricing calculator for cost transparency More updates coming.

🚀 Just published: Convex @convex.dev — The reactive database for modern web app development A full-stack development platform combining a reactive database, real-time queries, and serverless functions for building modern web applications. https://openalternative.co/convex

Our new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server works with Cursor so you can query your database directly and more. Check out Mike's video on how it works! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1yD...

Quick tip from Mike on how to improve AI search results for your app or startup with llms.txt youtube.com/shorts/6gm0N...

@convex.dev now has an MCP server! the cursor AI agent can now list project's schema and API, read data from tables, and call functions. it's insane how good it is at gluing tool calls together. here's an example of it building a histogram of a message lengths in a chat app.

Convex now has an MCP server! Cursor agent can now list your project's schema and API, read data from tables, and call functions. Check it out and let us know what you think! stack.convex.dev/convex-mcp-s...

Ok this is legitimately cool. Cursor talking to @convex.dev via MCP and figuring out schema improvements based on the rows actually stored in the database, performed in constant time!

More on the AI coding agents test with Fullstack Bench, which benchmarks how well AI coding agents implement backends using Convex, Supabase, and FastAPI. The results? Convex outperforms the rest with faster completion times, fewer errors, and minimal human intervention. youtu.be/XwJFEd1Lnmo

We're hosting AI Code Gen + Full Stack Demo Night on Thursday, 2/27 lu.ma/sgn747kk . RSVP!

We built Fullstack-Bench to evaluate how AI agents perform when implementing backends while building full-stack apps. Starting with Convex, FastAPI, and Supabase, we found three key factors that improve AI coding performance: Full results and code: stack.convex.dev/introducing-...

📣 New on the blog: Check out this exciting case study with @convex.dev, sharing how they tackled unexpected latency and memory regressions in production! #PerformanceMatters #ContinuousProfiling #Convex #Rust

We just launched self-hosting and a redesigned homepage. @jt.lol and Mike walks us through what’s new—improved onboarding, real-time updates, built-in mock testing—and why self-hosting matters for developers. Watch here: youtu.be/MkIy5yswy3o?...

When people say they want open source they rarely mean they just want to read the source code. They mean they want unrestricted access, an active community, ease of use, and yes, often something for free. news.convex.dev/self-hosting/

We just launched self-hosted @convex.dev! We open sourced last year but realized the code was open but not so useful on its own. This time we've included the Convex dashboard, bindings for Postgres, SQLite (and MySQL v. soon), packaged up in a docker container ready for real use

Convex is one of the coolest databases I've ever used, and now you can host one yourself! So obviously I had to try it out on Fly.io (spoiler, it was awesome) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPCg...

Looking for cursor rules for Convex? We got you. docs.convex.dev/ai/using-cur... FYI, *.mdc files are a new addition in cursor 0.45. Just place them in .cursor/rules; the model will automatically load them when needed.

In this week's episode of Databased, @jt.lol chatted with the one, the only @webdevcody.bsky.social, about content creation, AI's impact on software developers and education, and the spicy world of creator/sponsor relationships. Let us know your thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCB4...

you ever wanted to add ✨Realtime Comments✨ to your Astro blog? I contributed an Astro Convex template a little while ago! github.com/get-convex/t...

Got to sit down with Professor @andypavlo.bsky.social on the latest @convex.dev Databased podcast for his 2024 databases year in review! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B-M...

Ever feel like your backend is leaving your frontend out to dry? Mike Cann dives into Convex queries and shows how they handle derived state while keeping all clients in sync without manual reloads. convex.link/hz3ewWs

Mike Cann made a pretty sweet app, and then he and I used it on video to prepare for the rise of skynet. You know, usual Tuesday stuff. convex.link/nZT1nhy

We’ve created a production best practices guide for @convex.devdevelopers. From avoiding .filter on queries to ensuring access control, this checklist covers essential tips to make your app production-ready. convex.link/IRPytaL

Thanks all! Got help from @paolo.ricciuti.me, fixed the bug (of course it was just a false instead of undefined bug) and know I understand Svelte a bit more! This is the library github.com/get-convex/c..., any thoughts welcome

Convex updates to kick off 2025. 1. Convex 1.18 2. Cloudflare R2 File Storage Component 3. Vector storage price reduction 4. Updated best practices doc 5. Using Convex with Cursor news.convex.dev/product-upda...

The team has been publishing some great local-first articles over the past two months, kickstarted by @jt.lol "What is Sync" essay. stack.convex.dev/sync See our Stack local-first category for more! stack.convex.dev/tag/Local-Fi...

been working on the @convex.dev object sync engine, and, unsurprisingly, we've been structuring it to use deterministic simulation testing. i'm still blown away every time how *simple* writing systems as deterministic state machines makes testing complicated race conditions
