Compatibility

Valid and invalid combinations across frontend, backend, runtime, database, and addons

Rules

  • Convex backend: Sets database, ORM, and API to none; auth to clerk (if compatible frontends) or none
  • Backend none: Forces API, ORM, database, authentication, and runtime to none; disables examples
  • Frontend none: Backend-only project; PWA/Tauri/examples may be disabled
  • API none: No tRPC/oRPC setup; use framework-native APIs
  • Database none: Disables ORM and Better-Auth (but allows Clerk with Convex)
  • ORM none: No ORM setup; manage DB manually
  • Runtime none: Only with Convex backend or when backend is none
  • Auth clerk: Only available with Convex backend and compatible frontends
