I didn’t clock the use of “triples” as the store on first read. That’s a non-starter for existing dbs and pretty much a dead end for anyone who eventually wants a db structure they can use outside of this model.

We are working on a Postgres adapter. If you have an existing app and would be interested in using Instant with it, please send us a note: founders@instantdb.com

The way the Postgres adapter would work: You give us your database url [1], and Instant handles the real-time sync. [2]

For roll-out, we'll test it ourselves first and then take on beta users.
