Serverless deserves more than a database

• emschwartz 4y ago
  It seems Convex is about having data storage + client libraries that automatically react to changes without the developer explicitly making API calls and setting up subscriptions. On first glance it seems most useful for multiplayer apps, but maybe it’s more broadly applicable because of reactive web frameworks. Question for frontend developers: would you agree that data management is one of the harder parts of using serverless platforms today? How does this compare with some of the other offerings out there?

    It looks like many serverless platforms have different syntax or features. How to do serverless that works on many platforms? Has anyone abstracted APIs to have same syntax?

  Followed this back to the homepage and the docs, and determined to try this out based on the quality of that writing. Clear and a pleasure to read.
