Glad to hear the experience so far has been good!

> larger aggregates and more complex queries

Currently Instant supports nested queries, pagination, IN, AND, and OR. We have an internal implementation for COUNT [1], but need to update permissions for aggregates.

We're always hacking away on blocker features. If we can't get to it in time and it blocks your app, you can reach to the admin SDK for an escape hatch [2]

[1] The 'admin-only' count starts here: https://github.com/jsventures/instant/blob/main/server/src/i...

[2] https://www.instantdb.com/docs/backend



That sounds excellent. Count is the one I'm mostly after (x total attempts, y successes, z people have done this, etc). Right now it's at worst just inefficient and my scale is very low so that's just not a problem right now. Knowing there's both an escape hatch and that these things are on the plan means I don't feel like I'm setting myself up for issues later.

Btw I guess you created a new repo for the public release, so https://github.com/instantdb/instant/blob/main/server/src/in... is the link for others.

Great to see the open source release, congrats! : )
