InstaCloud

InstaCloud provisions and governs a project's cloud services behind one CLI and one credential seam. The insta CLI talks only to the InstaCloud control plane — you never configure a cloud backend directly. A project can have any number of services, added on demand — there are three service types you build directly against:

• postgres — relational DB with a fixed resource ceiling (raise it on paid plans with insta db limits). Plain Postgres: connect any driver/ORM directly with DATABASE_URL — no vendor SDK or vendor skill. It scales to zero when idle, so keep your pool's idleTimeoutMillis under the suspend window (see frameworks.md).
• storage — S3-compatible object/blob storage. Point any S3 library at the injected AWS_* / BUCKET_NAME env — no vendor SDK. Set the endpoint explicitly or the client talks to real AWS; each branch normally gets its own forked bucket (legacy pre-snapshot projects share one — see below). See storage.md.
• compute — your container(s) at a public URL. A project can have several compute services (e.g. api, worker).
