Awesome ship @stopachka !
Introducing…read-only mode!
Sometimes you need to migrate data or debug an issue. You want your app to stay running, but you don’t want new writes coming in.
You can now do this with a click of a button:

Always fun doing this eval when a new model drops!
Super delightful to get high quality PRs from the community!
Hey y’all! Courtesy of a community PR, Instant now offers support for expo-sqlite!
Running your own Instant cluster just became a lot easier :)
Hey everyone! Last month, we made it easy to run InstantDB on your own server....
Now we made it easy to scale Instant horizontally!
Even though things are becoming more agent and CLI driven it's still important to spark joy with your UI
Hidden benefit of managing my own wedding website.
I get to play with new features!
You can now manage and verify your magic code emails directly from the CLI.
Which means... your agents can do this too!
Love these touches. For my wedding website I made a little tool for previewing / sending test emails.
Nice to not need to do an extra step for more serious projects!
Magic code emails got some love today: you can now preview emails and send tests!
Heccckk yeahh!
Simulations are great approximations for models
GPT-5.5 lies constantly, Grok 4.20 doesn’t.
We made a simulation to see if AI lies when the stakes are life & death.🧵
📣 Reactivity on the backend!
Instant now comes with webhooks.
You get the best ideas from what we learned studying GitHub and Stripe…
and we sprinkled in (what we think) is an innovation!
Been really fun hacking on these packages. Coming from primarily react, really interesting to see how Vue, Svelte, and Solid do things
📷 @instantdb/vue !
Realtime queries, auth, presence, storage, streams. All built on Vue 3's Composition API.
Here's a realtime todo list in one file
Really delightful when you can just hand a prompt to an agent and it just does the thing
You can now self-host Instant by handing the docs to an agent.
The whole setup is a single prompt
Incantations will probably continue being a thing while LLMs remain sensitive to order, formatting, and specificity
How much do magic word prompts matter?
Stuff like adding
"AESTHETICS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. All apps should LOOK AMAZING and have GREAT FUNCTIONALITY!"
to the end of the app?
Here's one eval:

Time to hello-world has always been important to us. Getting this down to zero is especially tricky for a database product.
Really delightful ship. Easiest way to try out Instant!
Your agents shouldn’t have to ask for your log in information to build apps.
They can get credentials by just curling getadb
Not needing to manually set up OAuth is 👨🍳🤌
