You should be building product, not doing DevOps.
Let your agents deploy apps, provision resources, and manage your infrastructure for you on InstaCloud.
We raised $8M to build the next cloud platform for the agent era. It's now live today!
We just raised an $8M seed round to kill AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Introducing instacloud.com, the agent-native serverless cloud.
Your team is shipping code like never before. But you're getting caught up in manual, tedious DevOps work trying to deploy it.
InstaCloud provides the serverless compute that lets your services autoscale, with all the infrastructure managed for you.
Agents branch into complete replica environments when working, keeping prod safe and iteration speed high.
And of course, it all works seamlessly with agents through MCP/CLI.
Get off the traditional, legacy cloud.
Start deploying your services on InstaCloud today.

10,000 followers!! 🥳
I still remember when I had just 200, asking for advice on how to grow my account as a founder.
It took me 4 months to get just over 50,000 views. I was questioning what I was posting and whether any of it was making a difference.
Then developers started reaching out to try what we were building. People I met on X became our top users and strongest supporters.
It took 6 months to go from 200 to 1K. Now, it's taken 6 months to go from 1K to 10K...
Pretty crazy :)
Posting on X has changed the course of our company, forever grateful for the community we've found on here.
Let's keep building and shipping. Thank you guys, InstaBox to the moon!!
check out your InstaBox machine metrics to see how they're doing!
you shouldn't have to pick the perfect machine size upfront
start small, then let your agent add compute or storage as workload grows
Day 9 of our 'Test in Prod' Series:
You can now resize your existing machines on InstaBox.
Add more CPU and memory for heavier workloads, or more disk space as your files grow.
You can even add disk space while the box is running, so your agent can give itself more room mid-task and keep working without a restart.
Give your agents the machine they need, when they need it. And of course, you (and your agents) can do it all through the CLI or API.

give instabox.sh a try (for free) and see how you like us :)

Starting Monday, we're testing in prod for 28 days. One new feature a day. Stole this from @thsottiaux
Every day two posts:
- Test in prod: what we shipped today, plus a deep dive on how it works.
- Feature intake: comment what you want us to build. We'll read every comment and seriously consider the top ones.
Alright, we've got 40 hours before the first release. What should we build?

We launched InstaCloud on the same day as @OpenAI DevDay...
but it turned out okay :)
We briefly thought about pushing back the launch one day, but we locked in and remembered what YC always says: launch early and often
The best time to launch is always now, don't wait!
