Codehooks vs. Convex vs. Lua vs. Yandex Managed Service for YDB Comparison Chart

Convex is an open source, reactive backend platform that enables developers to build full-stack applications entirely in TypeScript. It offers a document-relational database where queries and mutations are written in TypeScript, ensuring end-to-end type safety and seamless integration with frontend code. Convex's libraries maintain real-time synchronization between the frontend, backend, and database state without the need for manual state management, cache invalidation, or WebSockets. It includes built-in support for cloud functions, scheduling, authentication, file storage, and a variety of components that can be added with a simple npm i command. Developers can define their entire backend, including database schemas, queries, and APIs, in code, which is typechecked and autocompleted, and can be generated by AI with high accuracy. Convex's architecture ensures that all transactions are serializable, providing strong consistency guarantees and eliminating race conditions.

Serverless computing is ideal for systems with unpredictable loads. Storage scaling, query execution, and backup layers are fully automated. The compatibility of the service API in serverless mode allows you to use the AWS SDKs for Java, JavaScript, Node.js, .NET, PHP, Python, and Ruby. YDB is hosted in three availability zones, ensuring availability even if a node or availability zone goes offline. If equipment or a data center fails, the system automatically recovers and continues working. YDB is tailored to meet high-performance requirements and can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second with low latency. The system was designed to handle hundreds of petabytes of data.
