Convex Components Guide

Use components to encapsulate features and build maintainable, reusable backends.

What Are Convex Components?

Components are self-contained mini-backends that bundle:

• Their own database schema
• Their own functions (queries, mutations, actions)
• Their own data (isolated tables)
• Clear API boundaries

Think of them as: npm packages for your backend, or microservices without the deployment complexity.
