InstantDB
Give your frontend a real-time database, built for AI-coded apps.
InstantDB is a real-time backend-as-a-service that gives frontends a database with built-in auth, permissions, storage, presence, and streams. It is designed to work seamlessly with AI coding agents via a CLI-first interface, allowing agents to manage databases without touching a dashboard. The platform emphasizes a small API surface, end-to-end type safety, and built-in undo for destructive actions.
Developers connect their frontend directly to InstantDB's real-time database via a small SDK, and AI agents can manage schema, auth, and data via a CLI without any dashboard interaction.
