Our Weekly Snack: Convex Queries & Mutations

⭐️ What is Convex?

Convex is essentially a backend as a service ↗️ but you don't need to write SQL or NoSQL code. You can simply use Convex query and Mutations to get what you need from your database.

You can,

  • Fetch data and perform business logic with strong consistency by writing pure TypeScript.
  • Insert, update, and remove data with autocompleted types. 100% ACID compliant.
  • Call third-party services without affecting database performance.

Here is an example,

🔎 Querying your Convex Database

In the above example,

  • 🚀 You can use useQuery to query any convex queries you created. No need to write any SQL
  • ✍️ TypeScript: The code is fully typed
  • 📦 On the database side, you can easily filter data based on the fields.

Building a full-stack Convex app was a lot of fun. And I can't wait for you to check it out!

AI coding assistant for large codebases

Hey Reader, Having an AI Code Editor is mandatory in today's world. Last weekend, I was talking to a friend who's a Staff DevOps Lead at a Tech firm. He hadn't tried any of the AI Code Editors yet and said he was hesitant—mostly because he thought editors wouldn't know the Context of his codebase as he does and also they can't keep up with his brain 🧠, he joked. So, very confidently, I showed him Cursor AI. And to my surprise, Cursor really sucked at remembering context. Plus, it took Cursor...

shipped my first SaaS

Hey Reader, A couple years ago, I made a bold move. I left my corporate 9-to-5 to become a Tech Educator. Starting from scratch was challenging, I had limited social proof and only had testimonials from my past colleagues.
