Traditional wisdom is to never bet against SQL but we’re here to convince you otherwise. The app development ecosystem accretes complexity year over year as a result of decades of bad design patterns and attempts to solve problems on the wrong layers of the stack. Consistent caching, dynamic subscriptions, and endtoend type safety can all be provided automatically when databases are built with the right abstractions: queries that are real imperative programs.

We’ll give an overview of the problems facing modern application developers and how these can be solved by a better database. We’ll also dive into some of the details and challenges when implementing this stack from the ground up at Convex.
