The Zen of Convex: Building Applications for Scalability
James Cowling, the co-founder and CTO of Convex, discusses the Zen of Convex, a document that outlines the philosophy and principles behind building scalable applications. He emphasizes the importance of clean abstractions, information hiding, and composability in making applications easier to build and maintain. By thinking in terms of transactions and deterministic execution, Convex aims to simplify the development process and improve scalability. While the Zen of Convex provides guidelines for building applications, James highlights that developers can still use Convex in their own preferred way.
