Convex Scales to 70 Modules Without Separate Services

DEV Community •
×

Client Commander runs web, mobile, and API backends on one Convex deployment with 70 modules and 50+ tables. The platform's reactive queries handle real-time permissions automatically, re-evaluating as data changes.

Shared TypeScript APIs between Next.js and Expo apps eliminate sync issues. Schema changes break builds across platforms, catching drift before deployment. REST endpoints wrap existing functions without duplicating logic.

Workflows survive server restarts using checkpointing, enabling multi-day automation without job queues. Built-in search indexes replace Elasticsearch setup. Each index deploys in three lines, updating transactionally with database writes.

The stack scales without traditional infrastructure overhead. One team builds features across platforms while Convex manages state, subscriptions, and cross-cutting concerns behind the scenes.
