Our Weekly Snack: Convex Queries & Mutations

โญ๏ธ What is Convex?

โ€‹Convex is essentially a backend as a service โ†—๏ธ but you don't need to write SQL or NoSQL code. You can simply use Convex query and Mutations to get what you need from your database.

You can,

  • Fetch data and perform business logic with strong consistency by writing pure TypeScript.
  • Insert, update, and remove data with autocompleted types. 100% ACID compliant.
  • Call third-party services without affecting database performance.

โ€‹

Here is an example,

๐Ÿ”Ž Querying your Convex Database

In the above example,

  • ๐Ÿš€ You can use useQuery to query any convex queries you created. No need to write any SQL
  • โœ๏ธ TypeScript: The code is fully typed
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ On the database side, you can easily filter data based on the fields.

Building a full-stack Convex app was a lot of fun. And I can't wait for you to check it out!
