We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers for agents than something designed to guide AI safely through backend tasks.So we built our own MCP server on top of Postgres and added a set of context-engineering tools to make prompt-driven workflows more predictable. It gradually turned into a Postgres-based BaaS.Key features:1. Authentication with prebuilt UI components2. Postgres database with typed SDK3. Serverless functions with a secret manager4. S3-compatible file storage5. AI model integration with a unified inference API and simple GUI6. MCP server with context-engineering endpoints (`fetch-docs`, `get-backend-metadata`, `get-table-schema`, etc.)We're still early (4 months in). Some parts are rough, but we’re shipping daily and improving quickly :)[1] Launch blog: https://insforge.dev/blog/insforge-launch[2] Open-source repo (self-hosting): https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge[3] Benchmark: https://github.com/InsForge/mcpmark[4] Website (cloud hosting): https://insforge.dev/[5] Our article on context engineering: https://insforge.dev/blog/why-context-is-everything-in-ai-co...[6] Public roadmap: https://feedback.insforge.dev/roadmap

Could you build this?

No InsForge is a full backend-as-a-service competing with Supabase, requiring massive multi-tenant database infrastructure, edge runtimes, auth, and storage services.

What it would actually take: A production BaaS requires an orchestrated multi-tenant Postgres infrastructure (such as Fly.io machines or Kubernetes operators spinning up isolated database instances), an edge computing runtime (like V8 isolates or Deno), a model gateway, and S3-compatible storage. The team must build high-availability replication, automated pooling (PgBouncer), RLS security parsing, and global edge routing. This requires dedicated cloud systems infrastructure engineers and substantial compute capital.
