What it is

InstantDB is an open-source client-side database designed to simplify building modern applications with real-time collaboration features similar to Notion and Figma. It eliminates the need for backend infrastructure boilerplate by handling CRUD operations, authentication, permissions, and data synchronization natively. The platform enables developers to create responsive, collaborative applications with optimistic UI updates out of the box.
