Any plans to offer security rules similar to Firebase? Really love what you're doing but that's a deal-breaker for me unfortunately..

We currently have a comprehensive security model in place which is detailed in our developer documentation at https://developers.goinstant.com/v1/overview/security.html.

We offer fine-grained access control lists that work with our authentication mechanism that gives the developer the ability to determine exactly which users and groups can modify data. You can read more about our ACL implementation at https://developers.goinstant.com/v1/guides/creating_and_mana....

Security is a huge priority for us and will continue to be moving forward, we will continue to work towards building features that enable and documentation that focuses on building secure realtime applications using our Platform.

I don't understand what GoInstant does, the "How it Works" page tells me nothing. How does the real time functionality work? Is it MVCC, Operational Transformation, just a locking protocol?

GoInstant offers a hierarchical key-value store that is synchronized between all users inside your application. We offer a couple of mechanisms when last-to-write is not sufficient.

You can use set overwrite[1] (similar to redis SETNX) with key expiry[2] to create locks and then leverage our ACL[3] to secure[4] which users and groups can modify the data.

We are currently planning to implement MVCC based transactions and operational transformation primitives into our core Key interface. I can't say when these features will be ready, but we definitely want to get to them!

I would love to use this for the app I am building, only thing thats preventing me from using this is, I already have some data , and I need a way to use my exiisting data ( may be offering an import solution would serve the purpose )

We are preparing to launch an API in the coming weeks that will allow you to import(and export) your data into GoInstant. We'd love to give you a sneak peak by giving you access to the beta. If you're interested please drop me an email (available in my profile).

Why do these kind of tools have tendency to appear on HN about a month too late? :)

Hey Tzaman, we wish we could have brought it to you sooner, I'd like to believe it will make you so efficient, you'll make up ground :)

I will certainly give it a shot - right now we are using pusher and manually pushing updated object both ways. Not very efficient but it works.

WebSocket book(oracle press) at the beginning of this month, TogetherJS a few days ago and now GoAngular/Instant. For me the timing couldn't have been better. TogetherJS has references to hosting your own server, but I couldn't find something similar on GoInstant. I am still digging around on their site though. BTW, what did you end up doing? Did you build something of your own? Any gotchas you would like to share? I…

Check out Nombo[1]. I'm looking forward to trying it at the weekend.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks a lot for all the pointers. Really appreciate it. BTW any plans to zero-in on the pricing anytime soon? I saw that for one app you will always keep it free, but it will be nice to know what happens beyond that..

We're working on pricing now. No timetable at the moment, but you do get 1 app for free. We know its really important and we're working on it now. We'd be happy to talk to you further about it and get your feedback.

No worries. I will keep following it up on your website. Thanks,
