Convex is a backend platform designed for developers to build without worrying about backend infrastructure. With its recent open-source release, developers can now explore how Convex works. By deploying a demo app, Swaghaus, users can interact with the system, running functions directly within the database. Convex uses a unique transaction log structure that ensures all transactions are atomic and serializable, eliminating race conditions in concurrent requests. This system allows for smooth scalability and efficient data management. Convex combines the ease of a schema-less document database with the power of a structured relational model, providing a smooth transition from Day 1 simplicity to Year 2 complexity.
