• Title: Convex - Realtime Backend for App Developers

• Main Page: https://www.convex.dev/
• Git: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend
• Licence: Apache License, Version 2.0
• Dockerfile: Yes
• Demo: https://www.convex.dev/ (Interactive demo on homepage)

• Summary:
  Convex is the open-source reactive database designed to make life easy for web app developers, whether human or LLM. Fetch data and perform business logic with strong consistency by writing pure TypeScript.
• Notes:
  -- Convex provides a database, a place to write your server functions, and client libraries. It makes it easy to build and scale dynamic live-updating apps.
  -- Good documentation: https://docs.convex.dev/home
  -- Active community: https://discord.com/invite/convex
  -- Well funded and trusted company behind it: https://news.convex.dev/convex-raises-24m/
  -- Very good for AI Apps because of configuration as code. Also Chef is cool: https://news.convex.dev/open-kitchen-chef-is-now-oss/
  -- Would be good boost for Cloudron I think.
  -- I want it, but can't spend time (yet) to figure out how to do it myself.

@nebulon @girish ERPNext is looking good...I'd love to see it added officially as a Cloudron app! (I've decided to move our business to ERPNext.) Maybe they'd support adding an "Install with Cloudron" option on their GitHub page? That could bring more business customers to Cloudron I expect.

Quick notes:

• Their official docker image seems mature enough. https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker
• They also have a 1-click droplet app on Digital Ocean. (But I'd rather manage it through Cloudron...because Cloudron is beautiful and awesome.)
• There is an ERPNext integration for n8n.
