convex-backend (TypeScript) — The open-source reactive database for app developers
You're starting fresh, want realtime + auth + DB in one TS-native bundle, and trust the vendor.
Frameworks · Database & ORM
Reactive backend-as-a-service that ships realtime, auth, scheduled jobs, and a TypeScript-native query language in one bundle. ~3k stars on the open-source backend (the hosted product is the real story). Writes are transactional, reads are reactive — your React UI updates automatically. The catch: it's opinionated and locks you into Convex's mental model. For greenfield apps that's a feature; for migrations it's painful.

You need raw SQL, multi-region replicas, or you're migrating an existing Postgres app.
