Frequently Asked Questions

#How established is Jazz?

Jazz is backed by fantastic angel and institutional investors with experience and know-how in devtools and has been in development since 2020.

#Will Jazz be around long-term?

We're committed to Jazz being around for a long time! We understand that when you choose Jazz for your projects, you're investing time and making a significant architectural choice, and we take that responsibility seriously. That's why we've designed Jazz with longevity in mind from the start:

• The open source nature of our sync server means you'll always be able to run your own infrastructure
• Your data remains accessible even if our cloud services change
• We're designing the protocol as an open specification

This approach creates a foundation that can continue regardless of any single company's involvement. The local-first architecture means your apps will always work, even offline, and your data remains yours.

#How secure is my data?

Jazz encrypts all your data by default using modern cryptographic standards. Every transaction is cryptographically signed, and data is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms including Blake3 hashing, ed25519 signatures, and xsalsa20 stream ciphers.

Key features of Jazz's security:

• Privacy by default: Your data is encrypted even on Jazz Cloud servers
• Automatic key rotation: When members are removed from Groups, encryption keys rotate automatically
• Verifiable authenticity: Every change is cryptographically signed
• Zero-trust architecture: Only people you explicitly grant access can read your data
