Here are few things we're working on next around safety:

- Dynamic permissions for agents: agents get API keys with limited scope. Whenever they need to expand the permission, they will ask you for approval. And the expanded scope only applies to the CURRENT task.

- Reversible: Git for backend. All the write operations will be snapshotted, so if agents make terrible mistakes, you can always roll back.

Congrats on the launch. Currently all my hobby projects go like procure auth from clerk, database from neon, vercel/cloudflare for deployment, etc etc. This could actually solve that problem. Is there a local simulator that can be used for testing and then replicated easily in prod?

Maybe tune down the marketing a bit. It’s not an agentic database. It’s postgres… which is fine but really no need to hype it up

Congrats on the launch! I recently tried InsForge for a personal project a few weeks ago and thought the getting started experience was really smooth.

Hey Hang, thanks for sharing it and a cool product, I will try this out, just noticed that https://insforge.dev/ does not have any trust portal or security page, you can create one by using sekorti in 5 minutes.
