This week we're joined by Stepan Parunashvili, co-creator of InstantDB, a new database that's designed to make it easier to build local-first apps. Instant is a replacement for Firebase, and it's designed to be a more modern, more flexible, and more powerful database for the modern web. Join us as we dive into the details of InstantDB, the challenges of building a new database, and the future of local-first development.This episode is sponsored by WorkOS (https://workos.com)https://www.linkedin.com/in/stepan-parunashvili-65698932/https://www.instantdb.com/https://github.com/instantdb/instanthttps://github.com/stopachka
