Inside InstantDB: Fast Track Schema and Data Management

The video discusses InstantDB, comparing its schema design process to tools like Prisma. Initially, users don't need to define a schema, enabling quick project setups, but can establish one as the application grows. InstantDB operates on a graph database inspired by Facebook, simplifying complex queries typical in frontend development. It balances optimistic UI updates with backend consistency, using attribute-level conflict resolution and a last-write-wins approach. Additionally, the video explains that InstantDB uses a triple store data model, which simplifies client-side database integration and conflict resolution, and supports a truly free database setup.
