instanode.dev — public content

Source of truth for the public content of instanode.dev — zero-friction developer infrastructure for AI agents. Provision a real Postgres, pgvector, Redis, MongoDB, NATS queue, or S3 bucket (and deploy your app) with a single HTTP call. No account, no Docker, no setup. Free anonymous tier.

This repo holds the marketing copy, blog posts, use cases, and docs that ship to https://instanode.dev — plus llms.txt, the LLM-friendly index that lets AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) discover and use the platform. The live copy is served at https://instanode.dev/llms.txt, with a /.md mirror of every page and the full text at https://instanode.dev/llms-full.txt.

The web app repo (InstaNode-dev/instanode-web) clones this repo into its .content/ directory at build time and inlines the markdown into the static HTML via Vite's import.meta.glob raw imports. The same flow runs in npm run dev so authors get hot reload on edits in a local clone.

# Maya shipped on Sunday night

Body in CommonMark. The dashboard renderer supports a minimal subset —
H1–H3, paragraphs, fenced code blocks, unordered lists, inline code,
bold. No HTML passthrough (XSS safety).

Frontmatter rules:

• title, date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), author, excerpt — required
• All values are single-line strings — no YAML block scalars
• Slug = filename without .md

Editing flow

1. git clone git@github.com:InstaNode-dev/content.git
2. Edit a .md file. Single line edits ship the same way structural ones do.
3. Open a PR. Reviewers see only the diff to the prose — no React, no CSS, no build config.
4. Merge. The next dashboard build picks up the change.

What NOT to put here

This repo is public. Everything in it ships to the public marketing domain. Do not commit:

• Internal cluster hostnames (*.svc.cluster.local)
• Secret variable names (AES_KEY, JWT_SECRET, RAZORPAY_*)
• Customer team IDs, real user emails, real production identifiers
• Stack traces from production
• Roadmap items that haven't been publicly announced

If a piece of content is engineering-internal, it belongs in the private InstaNode-dev/docs repo instead.
