instancez is a single container backend defined in one YAML file and is supabase-js-compatible. Declare tables, auth, row-level security, storage and functions, and it migrates your Postgres database for you. It ships as a single binary or container with a built-in dashboard, keeps your supabase-js code working, and promotes the same file from dev to staging to prod. The YAML is also easy for LLMs and coding agents to read and write and do local & cloud development and deployments!

Could you build this?
Partial The developer-facing shell (YAML config, dashboard, migrations) is buildable with AI help, but a faithful supabase-js-compatible backend with correct auth, row-level security enforcement, and storage is a substantial, security-critical systems project.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Go or Rust server wrapping Postgres, with a PostgREST-compatible query layer, JWT-based auth, and an RLS policy compiler, plus a schema-diff migration engine. The hard parts are getting security right (RLS and auth bugs are high-risk) and matching the supabase-js API surface exactly, which requires senior backend and database expertise.
