Backend
Serverless backend with API routes, database access, scheduled functions, cron jobs. Scales automatically.
Your app runs on a scalable, serverless backend powered by Convex — scales automatically as your app grows.
What can the backend do?
Section titled “What can the backend do?”- API routes for handling frontend requests
- Database access for querying and updating data
- Scheduled functions to run at specific times
- Cron jobs for recurring task execution
- Public API to expose endpoints for external apps
How do I view backend activity?
Section titled “How do I view backend activity?”Backend activity — function execution history, logs, scheduled jobs, and cron jobs — is visible in the Convex dashboard. Sign in with the account associated with your Proyecta project to access it.
