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.
Come by and say hi!
Also pick up some of our latest merch + swag 👀
Back at @ycombinator HQ sponsoring the “Make Something Agents Want” hackathon this weekend!
So glad to see energetic builders from all around the world. Excited to see what everyone builds :)

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!
dario... let's talk about InstaCloud...
BREAKING: Anthropic is reportedly planning to spend $518,000,000,000.00 on cloud and infrastructure in the coming years.
Send this to your agent to get started:

Something new is coming from @insforge next week...
@tonychang430 and I are very excited to show you all what we've been cooking the past several months 👨🍳🎬
Thanks to everyone who came out! Cheers to a smooth batch 🥂
Let us know how we can help, F26 :)
We hosted a @ycombinator F26 welcome party! 🥳
Quick recap:
• Met a lot of ambitious founders
• More and more startups are building for agents and not with humans as the main operators
• Talked with many founders hosting agents on the cloud!
Congrats to everyone in the F26 batch, can't wait to see what you all ship 🫡
Let's host an event like this again, @onethomaschan, @JustinTang29 @LanternAI__, @ai_singhal, @runmirrors, @JinjingLiang (@orca_build), and @sprintoHQ!
A sneak peek at what we’re launching next 👀
Our fearless leader @hanghuang_ just demo'd it for the first time in public at Dev Tools & Infra Demo Night at Hogpatch last night.
Thanks to @posthog, @1984Ventures, and @EssenceVenture for bringing everyone together.
More soon!

At @databricks , our infrastructure team had a practice called “Code Red.” When we experienced multiple major reliability incidents or Sev-0s within a short period, we paused normal roadmap work and made reliability the entire team’s priority.
EVERYONE worked together to understand the failures, brainstorm improvements, fix systemic issues, and strengthen alerts, dashboards, testing, and operational processes.
Given the recent GitHub-related incidents. I really think they should follow the process...
