  "price": "Free: 0.5GB DB, 1GB file storage, 1M function calls/mo, 1GB egress. Starter adds usage-based overages. Professional $25/developer/mo. Business from $2,500/mo.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "A reactive backend where the database, server functions and scheduler are one TypeScript system. Queries are automatically reactive, so subscribed clients update without websocket plumbing. The free plan allows 0.5GB database storage, 1GB file storage and 1,000,000 function calls per month; Professional is $25 per developer monthly.",
  "why": "Everything is typed end to end, so agents get compile-time feedback instead of runtime surprises. Convex ships an official MCP server plus <b>Chef</b>, its own open-source AI app builder that actually understands the backend.",
  "warn": "Not Postgres — you write Convex queries, not SQL, so leaving means a real rewrite. The genuinely free limits (1M calls, 0.5GB) are far tighter than the headline numbers on the pricing page.",
  "install": "npx convex dev, then add the Convex MCP server in your editor",
