About InstantDB
InstantDB is a hosted backend service for applications, described on its site as a backend for AI-coded apps. It bundles authentication, permissions, file storage, presence and streams, and is designed to be operated from the command line, so an account, database and schema can be set up and pushed from the terminal rather than through a dashboard UI. It also offers real-time and multiplayer sync, offline support, end-to-end type safety across schema, permissions, queries and transactions, and a built-in undo that restores deleted columns after destructive schema changes.
The site states that Instant is sunsetting and that services will continue only until August 31, 2027. It is not open source, and no pricing information is given on the homepage.
