Open-source API client for macOS with a native interface built using SwiftUI. Supports REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket with environment variables, collections, and request chaining. Designed specifically for Mac users who want a fast, beautiful API testing experience that feels like a first-class Mac application rather than a cross-platform Electron wrapper.

The reactive backend for modern apps

Reactive backend-as-a-service with real-time sync, TypeScript-native queries and mutations, automatic caching, and built-in file storage. No SQL required — define your backend logic in TypeScript and Convex handles the database, real-time subscriptions, and serverless functions. Ideal for apps that need instant data updates without complex WebSocket infrastructure.

Serverless database with search and AI built-in

Serverless database platform that combines Postgres, full-text search, analytics, and AI features in a single service. Built-in vector search for AI applications, branching for safe schema changes, and a spreadsheet-like UI for data exploration. Designed for developers who want powerful database capabilities without managing separate services for search, analytics, and embeddings.

MySQL-compatible serverless database

Serverless MySQL platform powered by Vitess with non-blocking schema changes, database branching, and horizontal sharding. Used by MyFitnessPal, Loom, and Cash App. Brings git-like branching workflows to database management, letting teams test schema changes in isolated branches before merging to production without downtime or migration headaches.

Serverless Postgres

Serverless Postgres platform that separates storage and compute for instant scaling, branching, and auto-suspend. Features database branching (like Git for databases) for development and preview environments, autoscaling compute that scales to zero when idle, point-in-time restore, and a generous free tier. Compatible with any PostgreSQL client and supports extensions like pgvector for AI embeddings. Growing as the database layer for Vercel, Replit, and modern serverless stacks.

Build full-stack apps on your own infra

Open-source framework for building and deploying full-stack applications on AWS with infrastructure-as-code. Supports Next.js, Remix, Astro, and more with zero-config deployments. Manages Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and other AWS services through a clean TypeScript API, giving developers the power of AWS without the complexity of CloudFormation or CDK.

Web platform for modern development

Jamstack-focused cloud platform specializing in deploying static sites, serverless functions, and modern web applications with Git-based CI/CD. Features instant rollbacks, deploy previews for every PR, split testing, edge functions, form handling, identity/auth, and a global CDN with automatic HTTPS. Native support for Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Hugo, Astro, and all major static site generators. Generous free tier with 100GB bandwidth and 300 build minutes per month.
