Convex 1.34.0 – AI context files & deployment management

AI Context Files The CLI can now automatically provide Convex AI context files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, guidelines/state files) to your project via npx convex dev. Manage them with the new npx convex ai-files command: install, update, check status, disable/enable prompts, or remove. Deployment Management New npx convex deployment create and npx convex deployment select commands give you full control over cloud deployments. All CLI commands now support --deployment to target a specific deployment by name, ref (dev/james), shorthand (dev, prod), or cross-project ref (team-slug:project-slug:ref). Also includes: improved websocket client backoff behavior and no longer recreating convex/README.md when the convex/ folder already exists.

Convex 1.33.0 – Smarter CLI, agent-friendly init

Convex 1.33.0 brings major improvements to the CLI developer experience. npx convex env set now accepts values interactively, via --from-file, or multiple variables at once via stdin. Pair it with npx convex env list to round-trip environment variables between deployments. Both npx convex env set and npx convex run now auto-start a local backend when needed — no more forgetting to run npx convex dev first. npx convex init now supports agent workflows via CONVEXAGENTMODE=anonymous, enabling fully non-interactive deployment setup. Also includes: improved --env-file reliability, better generated API types to avoid infinite recursion, getConvexSize returning 0 for undefined, and no longer overwriting tsconfig.json/README.md when configuring a new deployment.

Convex 1.32

This release introduces npx convex insights and a corresponding MCP tool, giving developers direct access to deployment health insights from the terminal. It also adds fine-grained pagination controls, moves local backend state to a project-local .convex directory for worktree isolation, and adds region selection when creating deployments.

#230EU Region Hosting (Dublin)

After years of customer requests, Convex launches its first non-US region in Dublin. EU hosting is available on all plans including free, with region selection in the dashboard, Management API, and CLI. Canada and Australia are next.

Convex 1.31

This release changes db.get, db.patch, db.replace, and db.delete to accept the table name as the first argument — making the API more consistent, safer, and paving the way for custom IDs. Migration is automated via an ESLint rule or standalone codemod tool.

Convex 1.30

This release adds a safety check to --preview-create: it now errors if used with a non-preview deploy key instead of silently deploying to production. A critical guardrail for CI/CD pipelines.

#229Components Authoring GA and Directory

The Convex component system reaches GA with a public directory for discovering community-built components, an authoring SDK, templates, and a components challenge to bootstrap the ecosystem.

ImprovementNov 24, 2025

#228Vercel Marketplace Integration

Ships one-click Convex installation directly from the Vercel Marketplace, removing friction for the large Vercel developer ecosystem to adopt Convex as their backend.

#216Hide Columns in Dashboard

Developers can now hide columns in the dashboard data browser to focus on the fields that matter.

#227Treap-Based Subscription Engine Optimization

A deep infrastructure optimization replaces the core data structure in Convex's subscription worker — the engine that tracks which queries need re-evaluation when data changes — with a treap-based structure. Internal charts show dramatic reductions in CPU usage and tail latency.
