Company Overview

Instant is a technology company developing a real-time, client-side database platform designed to simplify the creation of collaborative and multiplayer applications. Positioned as a modern successor to Firebase, the platform provides developers with a suite of tools including a sync engine, relational queries, transactions, authentication, permissions, storage, and offline support, all accessible through a simple SDK. This allows developers to focus on user experience by handling complex backend tasks like data synchronization, optimistic updates, and rollbacks. The company was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch and is backed by investors such as SV Angel, Paul Graham, and the former CEO of Firebase, James Tamplin. The founders, Stopa and Joe Averbukh, are former engineers from Facebook and Airbnb.
