Time to open up
Convex is going open source
First of all, huge thanks to all our early users, many of whom are in this Discord. You all bet on us early, and we're so grateful for your time and wisdom as we've worked to make Convex a better and better platform for making amazing apps. We particularly appreciate your patience while we've chipped away at the rough edges recently. Please know we're focusing on smoothing all those in the next few months so the end-to-end DX is universally great. Service stability, better debugging tools, more best practices documents, and so on.
Part of the story now as we stabilize the platform is to begin to talk more and show more about how Convex works, to open up with our community. And when your community is software engineers, open-source is the natural way to do that.
So we've begun open-sourcing more and more parts of Convex recently, and we're happy to announce that we're working toward the release of a open-source backend later this year!
