Instant is a backend platform for applications, offering auth, permissions, storage, presence, and realtime streams. It is distributed via the instantdb/instant GitHub repository under the Apache-2.0 license and is written in TypeScript.

You need a single backend that bundles auth, permissions, storage, and realtime features without assembling separate services.

Use it to

  • Add authentication and permissions to an app
  • Store application data with managed storage
  • Add presence and realtime streams to a UI
  • Ship a full-stack app quickly

For Developers building apps, especially with AI coding tools
