Reactive TypeScript backend with database, functions and AI gateway
Document store with ACID transactions that pushes live updates to subscribed clients automatically, no manual invalidation needed.
Schema, queries, mutations, actions and HTTP endpoints are written in TypeScript with end-to-end type safety from client to database.
Open-source modular building blocks such as Agent, Workflow, Workpool, Stripe, Resend and Twilio that drop into your app.
Call major language models through one unified API and billing path instead of managing separate provider credentials.

Trae reads your project files and dependencies, so its suggestions account for how the codebase is actually structured rather than treating each file in isolation.
Describe a task and the agent plans and applies multi-file edits, shows a diff for review, and can run terminal commands as part of the change.
Ask questions about unfamiliar code, get inline explanations, and have bugs or failing tests diagnosed and fixed with context.
TraeCode covers the coding workflow, while TraeWork applies an AI assistant to everyday knowledge tasks — both download for desktop, with a web option.
