    Trains on customer data

    No

    Data processing agreement

    Offered

    Data region

    US East (N. Virginia) and EU West (Ireland); enterprise customers can deploy privately to their own AWS accounts

    AI code generation features use large public training set of TypeScript code. Convex supports Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for customers to use their own data with LLMs, but does not train on customer data. No public policy restricting training found, but inference-only model usage implies no ongoing training.

    // Products & data scope

    Convex CloudBackend-as-a-Service Database

    data: Fully managed cloud deployment in Convex-controlled AWS accounts (US East or EU West regions)

    99.99% SLA, automatic scaling, realtime updates, vector search, file storage, cron jobs, ACID semantics, authentication with 80+ OAuth providers

    Self-hosted/Private DeploymentBackend-as-a-Service Database

    data: Customer-controlled AWS account with customer-managed KMS, IAM, and networking

    Enterprise feature; customers retain full control over encryption keys and infrastructure

    Convex AI CodingAI Code Generation

    data: TypeScript code generation for backend functions

    AI generates Convex code using public TypeScript training set; does not train on customer code

    // What to watch

    • No ISO 27001 certification despite enterprise positioning; typical for growth-stage database vendors but notable gap vs. traditional enterprise competitors
    • SOC 2 Type I mentioned on enterprise page but Type II is the primary/current certification per security page
    • GDPR listed as 'verified' rather than explicitly certified; implies compliance review rather than third-party audit
    • Hosting on AWS infrastructure; AWS carries FedRamp and other certs but these belong to AWS, not Convex
    • No AI governance certifications (ISO 42001, CSA STAR AI) despite prominent AI coding features

    // At a glance

    Pricing model

    Usage-based (storage, API calls) with free tier for development

    Yes

    // How we verified this

    Every certification marked HELD is confirmed against a verbatim quote on Convex, Inc.'s own trust, security, or privacy pages. We reject certifications claimed only on third-party aggregators, on a cloud host's behalf, or by a similarly named company.

    Last verified 2026-07-06. Compliance changes over time. Always confirm directly with the vendor before relying on any certification for a purchasing or compliance decision.
