Convex
Reactive backend — database, server functions, real-time sync, cron jobs, file storage. All TypeScript. This site's backend (courses, videos, user data) runs on Convex.
Convex replaces your database, API layer, and real-time sync with a single TypeScript platform. You write queries and mutations as TypeScript functions, and your React frontend automatically re-renders when data changes — no websocket setup, no polling. It includes scheduled functions (cron jobs), file storage, full-text search, and vector search for AI apps. This site uses Convex for the course database (90 lessons), video catalog, AI news feed, and user management. The cron job syncs new YouTube videos daily at midnight. Free tier includes 1M function calls/month.
