Beyond SQL: How Convex Reimagines the Modern Database — A ClarityText Startup Story
Convex might look like just a database, but for modern app developers, it's a full backend-as-a-service platform that replaces the complexity of stitching together ORMs, caching, rate limiting, realtime sync, and CI/CD. In this post, a startup founder walks through how they used Convex to build ClarityText—an AI-powered chat knowledge base—and explains why Convex delivers faster MVPs, deeper type safety, and a seamless developer experience without third-party services like Prisma, Redis, or Firebase. Perfect for developers evaluating backend choices in 2024 and beyond.
