# Convex

> Convex is a San Francisco developer-tools company that combines a reactive database, TypeScript server functions, real-time synchronization, search, file storage, scheduling and reusable backend components. Its bet is that product developers and coding agents should work with one coherent state model instead of stitching together databases, APIs, caches and WebSockets. The managed service ranges from a free tier to enterprise deployments, while a self-hosted edition gives teams a practical escape hatch.
