Supabase launches InstantDB migration tool with a coding-agent troubleshooting prompt

SeanOliver · x · 2026-11-11

Supabase released an official InstantDB-to-Supabase migration flow: InstantDB namespaces become Postgres tables, links become table relationships, $users become Auth accounts, and $files go to Storage — with every schema change emitted as SQL migrations you can keep in your repo.

Because InstantDB has closed new sign-ups, the flow couldn't be fully tested. Supabase ships a built-in coding-agent troubleshooting prompt that instructs the agent to run read-only checks first, distinguish connection/backup/upload/restore/app-setup failures, read the importer's README and source before suggesting commands, and never ask for credentials or private data in chat. Importer source is open at supabase/instantdb-to-supabase.
