ConvexValue, Shrimp & Oklahoma
An infrastructure, kitchen, and cook ready to serve you the most delicious options dishes
You love seafood. But you live in Oklahoma.
For the better part of a year I have been designing, building, and testing an infrastructure that captures the freshest fish from the sea, transports them via an unbreakable cold chain, and delivers them at your favorite restaurant - ConvexValue.
It is time to feast!
Sort of... The supply chain is only part of it - although the most critical part of it! Let me tell you where we stand.
Picture this:
The ConvexValue restaurant in downtown Oklahoma (which isn't even a thing but stay with me). You just heard that they have just finished connecting an underground pipeline directly to the sea. Through this pipeline travels all the seafood you can imagine - and remember, you love seafood!
The seafood arrives at the locale and is categorized accordingly and kept in the freshest of conditions ready to be served to your plate. Your mouth at this point is watering - imagine those scallops!
The kitchen is beautiful - stocked with the finest of spices and oils, highest quality knives and pots and pans - ready to prepare the best served plate you can imagine. You can already picture that delicious Bouillabaisse.
And there I am - behind the kitchen, ready to cook for you. Taking off my construction cap from all that pipeline building and really to cook.
There are only a couple of items on the menu - so far.
You constantly see the evolution of these dishes - new items on the menu added, recipes improved, variations of dishes to truly satisfy you palate. You sit at the kitchen table speaking to the chef - commenting on the dishes and helping them improve to your liking. You tell the chef you like it more with lemon and boom - lemon it is!
You see oysters coming out, fresh cod in one and another preparation. Raw tuna but you like it cooked so cooked tuna coming your way!
Almost as if the restaurant was powered by some magic kitchen.
Which is is! It is a fully stocked kitchen but most importantly - the highest grade infrastructure to deliver the freshest ingredients right from the source.
Imagine the possibilities!
This is ConvexValue.
It is not seafood - it is options data.
Before this current release I operated this platform and learned the wrinkles and curiosities of obtaining, maintaining, categorizing and delivering the freshest options data. Then I built an infrastructure to do so - which definitely took a while. And now the infrastructure is ready.
The kitchen? The kitchen is the ConvexValue Terminal and its surrounding ecosystem which allows me to cook and serve the freshest of dishes on the fly.
The dishes? The dishes are the modules. Most of the modules you know and love are ready to go, some are in preparation, and there are many new to come. The possibilities of dishes are endless! It’s just a matter of preparing them how you like them.
The cook? Still me. And I may or may not be the best cook out there - but I do have the hottest supply chain and kitchen, and with your feedback I can serve you the most delicious dishes. Soon - with your help - we’ll have a team of cooks cooking more dishes than I possibly could to truly fulfill all your desires.
Naturally some of you may be better cooks and prefer to prepare your own dishes. The raw ingredients are here waiting for you via direct API access to all ConvexValue databases!
If you have been in our discord lately you've seen all this cooking. If not - I invite you to come - reach out!
I have been radio silent for nearly a year building this, and now I invite you to be a part of the next step - helping me cook the best dishes for you. The name of this new infrastructure, platform and stage is ConvexValue V5.
ConvexValue V5
ConvexValue V5 encompasses 4 things:
ConvexValue Grid
ConvexValue Terminal
ConvexValue Web-App
ConvexValue Modules
ConvexValue API
The ConvexValue Grid is the infrastructure - a 100% Rust based infrastructure designed, built, and tested for receiving, processing, and streaming Options Data.
The ConvexValue Terminal is a desktop app which gives you the ability of creating layouts by splitting and resizing panes, saving layouts and collections of layouts in the form of workspaces, publishing and sharing layouts. It is the same concept of the terminal you’ve seen - but much faster, slicker, and with better features.
The ConvexValue web-app is like a light version of the terminal. It only allows you to visualize a single module at a time and doesn’t have any of the workspace/layout features. It is great if there is a single module you like to look at or for quick lookups. You can even use it on your phone!
The Modules are what I am cooking day in and day out. Some of the active modules are featured in the above screenshot. Stay tuned for a full-menu soon - or better yet, come check them out yourself!
Finally, the API. As a member you have access to *everything* ConvexValue and that includes all of its data. You have full SQL access to all the databases, and if you aren’t fluent in SQL you can tell me what data you need and I’ll create routes a la carte.

Reach out at jb@ConvexValue.com, or access the app at ConvexValue.com and checkout the documentation at ConvexValue.com/docs. The dishes are being prepared as we speak - and you can be a part of it. Due to the experimental nature of this project - there are 100 spots at the Chef’s table. It matters to me that I serve you all properly - you will be a part of the development and documentation and fine-tuning will happen as we go along. Then - we scale.
