{"id":101500,"title":"InsForge: The backend platform for AI-native developers","tagline":"Let your coding agent deploy, operate, and debug your backend end-to-end","body":"Hey YC! We’re [Hang Huang](https://linkedin.com/in/hang-huang-oliver) and [Tony Chang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-chang-0430/) from [InsForge](https://insforge.dev/).\n\n**TL;DR:** InsForge lets your AI coding agent deploy and operate the full backend (servers, database, auth, storage, and more) from one consistent CLI. Instead of stitching together separate tools and dashboards, your agent manage entire backend infrastructure end-to-end.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/7Bax5qz0IfM\u003e\n\n**The Problem**\n\nThe way software gets built is changing fast. Coding agents are now the primary builders, but every backend platform today was designed for human developers, with dashboards, manual configs, and workflows that require a person at every step.\n\nWe tried MCP servers like Supabase, Vercel, GitHub, and Context7, but kept running into the same problems: tools bloated the context window, payloads came back at 10K+ tokens, and core backend state like telemetry, configs, logs, and runtime behavior still wasn’t accessible in a way agents could reliably use.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nSo we built InsForge as one backend platform your coding agent can actually operate. Install our CLI and Skills with one command, and your coding agent can build, run, debug, and scale full-stack apps end to end on InsForge.\n\nEvery primitive returns structured outputs and readable errors the agent can act on. And because agents make mistakes, branching, scoped permissions, and reversible writes let you review or discard changes safely.\n\n**Where We're Going**\n\nWe believe that coding agents won’t stop at writing code. They’ll run your entire application and infrastructure autonomously as well. For that to work, backend infrastructure needs to become agent-native: CLI-first, observable, permissioned, reversible, and designed around agents as operators.\n\n**About Us**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=101500\u0026key=user_uploads/967495/90d7cdcf-0682-408c-bf3c-c5f192edf89b)\n\n* **Hang (CEO)** — ex-Amazon PM, previously professional League of Legends player.\n* **Tony (CTO)** — ex-Databricks network infrastructure engineer.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\n1. **Try it and break it**: [**insforge.dev**](http://insforge.dev). If you found there’s anything missing or you think some features are poorly designed, let us know! We read every piece of feedback. We’re also open source, here’s our [**GitHub repo**](https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge).\n2. **Design partners**: if you want your coding agent to handle everything, and believe that’s the future, drop a comment or email [**founders@insforge.dev**](mailto:hang.huang@insforge.dev). We'll get you set up directly.\n3. **Intros:** we're a day-0 infra company, so we need to find top developers before they get locked in elsewhere. If you know any developers or founders just / about to get started, we’d love an intro!","slug":"QP6-insforge-the-backend-platform-for-ai-native-developers","created_at":"2026-05-18T15:39:09.065Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T04:24:04.534Z","total_vote_count":23,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QP6-insforge-the-backend-platform-for-ai-native-developers","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=101500\u0026key=user_uploads/967495/90d7cdcf-0682-408c-bf3c-c5f192edf89b","company":{"id":31547,"name":"InsForge","slug":"insforge","url":"https://insforge.dev/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/de52713fe1552551dbe8aa2a5e60202c09bfc0d7.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Developer Tools","Open Source","Infrastructure"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31547"}}
