Learn/L9 · Convex in production

Convex is your backend

agentify, Jmcon, clickmediaprodev, and nicodelgadodev all use Convex — not a separate SQL platform.

Plain English

When you ship an app for a client, the data layer is almost always Convex: TypeScript schema, functions that enforce who can read/write, and live updates in the UI. You don't need a second backend product for your repos on the VPS.

Analogy

One kitchen for all your restaurants — same rules, different menus (schemas).

Jessica's wedding portal

Events, tasks, chat in youthful-kookabura-525; organizationId on rows.

Agentify CRM

CRM data in decisive-warthog-196; inbox updates without refresh.

HógaPy real estate

Leads and intake chat in clickmediaprodev Convex deployment.

Go deeper

Convex = database + server code + realtime.

Common mistakes

  • Looking for 'the Postgres' in your repos — it's Convex tables.
  • Adding a second BaaS because a tutorial said so.

AI-agent trap

Agents scaffold Supabase for your projects — redirect to Convex patterns in convex/ of the target repo.

Summary

Frontend only calls Convex functions; secrets stay in convex env.
