Architecture

Overview

Instant uses client-side SDKs for user-facing features and Document Engine for backend processes like authentication and syncing documents and annotations. Its mobile and web frameworks seamlessly integrate with your app, linking to the Document Engine backend.

Compatibility

The frameworks for iOS, Android, and Web connect your app to Document Engine. Enabling Instant is a simple matter of adding the framework to your app.

Document Engine runs within a Docker container and provides a JSON-based API for easy integration with your existing infrastructure. It handles syncing documents and annotations automatically.
