At Convex, we found a third way. We call it the Parking Ticket Pattern.
We're excited to announce comprehensive documentation for the Java SDK for Convex! Java developers can now build on the Convex decentralised lattice with native JVM performance and familiar Java patterns.
We're excited to announce comprehensive documentation for the Python SDK for Convex! Python developers can now build on the Convex decentralised lattice with Pythonic idioms and patterns.
We're excited to announce the official TypeScript SDK for Convex! Build web applications, Node.js services, and React dApps with full type safety and modern JavaScript tooling.
