How startups launch with Convex

Convex allowed us to iterate very quickly on the models and schema by letting us see our changes deploy in real time. Convex allowed us to not think about the persistence layer, deduping of calls, loading states, pagination, or any part of the backend that you're usually rolling yourself. The team was highly responsive and unblocked us when we needed it.
