InsForge - Give agents everything they need to ship fullstack apps
by•
InsForge is the backend built for agentic development. We offer everything AI agents need to build fullstack apps that scale. Our open source backend (2.3K stars on GitHub) provides databases, auth, storage, model gateway and edge functions accessible through a semantic layer that agents can understand, reason about, and operate end to end. Say the word, and you can deploy to InsForge Cloud or your own domain.

the semantic layer approach is exactly right. agents shouldn't guess at infrastructure the same way they shouldn't guess at who the user is. been building the identity side of this problem - the agent knows what to build with insforge, but does it know who it's building for? the cold start for user context is the same problem you solved for infra.
InsForge
@ivo_gospodinov exactly, and that’s why we are killing it on benchmark results
@hanghuang that makes sense. if your agents already have the infra context nailed, layering in user identity would be the other half. been working on an open protocol for exactly that - portable AI identity so any tool or agent knows who it's serving. would be interesting to explore what a northr + insforge integration looks like. happy to chat if you're up for it.

@ivo_gospodinov absolutely!
Pieces for Developers
So I've had the chance of trying out the remote MCP server from Minns Foods with Claude Code and also with Codex. The capability of just being able to very quickly build applications and also deploy them with a full-fledged database authentication is just wonderful. The developer experience is great, like a one-shot prompt; you can get your full stack up and ready. I feel that, when comparing it with being able to do more complex tasks as compared to the developer experience that you get with Supabase, I certainly feel that I've had much more success in being able to do things faster. The overall performance also feels a lot more snappier.
I'm glad that we have this capability with a really robust MCP server that has all of the built-in capabilities to automatically fetch stocks and then also just one-click deploy the app on ourselves. It has been pretty fun to work with.

@shivaylamba thank you so much! And I think InsForge is not just good for 1-shot prototyping, but also continues building!
InsForge
@shivaylamba Thanks for the detailed feedback, Shivay! Really glad you felt that 'snappier' performance—optimizing the dev-to-deploy loop was a huge priority for us.
Have a great launch! Good luck!

@mikita_aliaksandrovich thanks!!!

The UI looks very clean. Curious how this performs with larger workflows.

@1mirul We are very pleased that you like our website. We have made many infrastructure-level optimizations to ensure that it can run normally in complex business scenarios, and we are still iterating on it.
InsForge
@1mirul thank you so much for liking our site! Yes, we hold a very high bar for user experience! As for the performance, we have Series-A stage company using our service, they have 4 millions users! So don’t need to worry at all
I’m actually not a developer, but I was surprised by how simple InsForge is to use. The setup and interface make it much easier to experiment with AI tools and integrations without needing a deep technical background. It feels like the team really thought about usability, not just developer features. Excited to see where this goes! 🚀

@mingcheng_guo In the AI era, there are no developers and non-developers, only builders
Congrats on the launch, This solves a lot.

@vedantuttam Thank you so much!!

As someone who mostly dabbles in front-end and rarely backend, I'm always afraid I'll set up something wrong that causes a recursive loop and spikes my cloud or database cost somewhere. Are there ways that InsForge can also help with ensuring the code is cost-optimized as well?
InsForge
@lienchueh We provided best practices and log retrieval for agents!
InsForge
@lienchueh I feel you. InsForge simplifies the backend heavy lifting so you won't have to worry about those hidden recursive traps. It's built to keep things safe and cost-efficient by default!
@hanghuang @tonychang430 Really interesting launch.
Reading through the architecture and the way InsForge exposes backend primitives through a semantic layer for agents, something stood out.
It seems to behave less like a traditional backend-as-a-service (like Supabase or Firebase) and more like infrastructure designed for agents to operate application backends directly.
Especially when agents can provision databases, deploy functions and manage resources without the human developer operating the stack.
Curious how the team thinks about this internally.
Is InsForge evolving primarily as a backend platform for developers using agents, or closer to infrastructure where agents themselves become the primary operators of the backend?
InsForge
@hanghuang @tonychang430 @cauan_martins Spot on. You hit the nail on the head regarding our internal philosophy. We see InsForge as the "OS for Agents"—where the agent is the primary operator, not just a tool. We're building for a future where agents handle the infrastructure so humans can stay focused on the intent.
@hanghuang @tonychang430 @jiaqichen That framing is fascinating — “OS for Agents” makes a lot of sense given how InsForge exposes infrastructure primitives directly to agents.
It almost feels like we're moving toward a world where developers express intent and agents operate the stack.
Curious what kinds of new abstractions you think will emerge if agents become the primary operators of application infrastructure.
InsForge
@tonychang430 @cauan_martins the latter: agents themselves become the primary operators of the backend! We believe that’s the future because the definition of developers are shifting

@frey_loong Yes! We’re developers, so we know both open source and hosted are needed XD
InsForge
@frey_loong Opensource Gang!!!
InsForge
@bengeekly absolutely, but the platforms need to be agent native that provides access and strong context engineer capabilities, otherwise agents can’t use it well. This is our strength, proved by benchmark!
