It feels like sync is finally happening, and we're fired up! https://lnkd.in/gvVKQigB So, Convex founder?Jamie Turner?wrote about sync: what it is, what problems it can solve, tradeoffs and cool sync projects people are working on. #sync #database #backend #distributed

A new episode of DataBased is live with Tom Redman, Jamie Turner, and James Cowling on "Is your database quietly corrupting your data? ?All about isolation levels" Watch! https://lnkd.in/giKUq2AB In this episode of Databased, Tom Redman talks with Jamie Turner and James Cowling about the impact of database isolation levels on application development. They explain key levels like read uncommitted and serializable, their effects on data integrity and performance, and common pitfalls like dirty reads. Highlighting best practices, they advocate for solid isolation guarantees, optimistic concurrency control, and designing systems to minimize contention, offering practical insights for scalable and reliable application architecture. #podcast #database #backend

We're looking forward to hosting and demoing what the team has been cooking at the Local-First meetup next week. https://lu.ma/5cdnkssu RSVP and hear talks from: Stepan Parunashvili, CTO at Instant Felicia Chang Founding Engineer at Jamsocket Thomas Ballinger Software Engineer at?Convex. #localfirst

"An Object Sync Engine for Local-first Apps" is Sujay Jayakar’s latest article for developers building local-first web applications. https://lnkd.in/geRAGiCS #sync #backend #database

A new episode of DataBased is live featuring Jamie Turner and James Cowling on Five Principles for Good Systems Design https://lnkd.in/g6HzKhXT In this episode of Databased, Jamie Turner and James Cowling discuss the importance of designing systems to prevent failures under peak load with worst-case scenarios in mind. They explain congestion collapse and the need for robust back-off strategies to maintain system performance during high demand. Additionally, they emphasize zero-error data systems and verification processes to ensure data integrity and support resilient, long-term system growth. #podcast #convex #sync #systemdesign

Product Updates Volume 11 via Indrajit Khare https://lnkd.in/gU77W96t Components explainer The Convex ecosystem is abuzz with the?components launch (https://lnkd.in/gXT3fSsm ). We’ve put together a new video explaining what they are and how easy it is to integrate one into your app. Check out the video - https://lnkd.in/gZ7_Hh-b TanStack Start + Convex = ?? TanStack Start is the hottest new web app framework since the invention of the wheel. We’ve been working with the TanStack team to provide a first-class experience building apps with Convex. The best way to see what it’s capable of is to play with the?demo app here - https://lnkd.in/grTqti4U Better DataDog integration If you’re using DataDog for log streaming, you can now explicitly define the service name for your Convex logs in DataDog. Just go to your integration settings in the Convex deployment settings and add the string you want to show up as the?service?in DataDog. Thinking about sync The Convex team has been noodling on sync quite a bit lately. Convex already does online sync, but we’re honing what offline sync will look like. You can read Jamie’s definition in the?What is Sync?( https://lnkd.in/gvVKQigB) ?post, see Sujay’s?map of sync(https://lnkd.in/gCxYnps3) , and read about how my old team?built a local-first experience in Google Photos for Android ( https://lnkd.in/g4JeDXwW) #sync #product #backend #database

Check out our Head of Product Indrajit Khare latest article, “Mobile-first: Building Google Photos,” which dives into the challenges and principles of building mobile-first experiences. https://lnkd.in/g4JeDXwW At Convex, we know that designing for mobile isn’t just about resizing—it’s about creating an intuitive experience that works seamlessly in users’ hands. Indy shares valuable insights into how Google Photos tackled this, as well as more takeaways for anyone developing mobile-first applications. #MobileFirst #AppDevelopment #Convex #localfirst

Check out Sujay Jayakar’s latest article, “A Map of Sync." It’s an insightful look at the complexities of sync in real-time apps, covering everything from data consistency to handling conflicts and latency. https://lnkd.in/ghSRyw6r Sujay explores how Convex helps developers navigate these challenges and ensure reliable user experiences. A must-read if you’re building collaborative real-time applications. #Convex #AppDevelopment #Sync #realtime
