Jazz
The database that syncs across frontend, backend, and cloud.

Jazz is a local-first relational database that runs across the frontend, backend, and a global storage cloud, automatically syncing data in real time. It features row-level security with per-query auth, git-like branching edit histories, and live schema migrations that eliminate stop-the-world deployments. Jazz Cloud offers a globally distributed, usage-based managed hosting option alongside a self-hostable open-source server.
Jazz embeds a relational database across frontend and backend that automatically syncs data to a global cloud, handling networking, auth-integrated RLS, edit histories, and live migrations as first-class database features.
