Nhost

Open-source backend platform with a PostgreSQL database, GraphQL API, authentication, file storage and serverless functions, offered as a cloud service and for self-hosting.

Nhost is an open-source backend platform. It combines a PostgreSQL database, a GraphQL API built with Hasura, authentication and file storage, with a dashboard for managing an app. It is offered as a cloud service and as a self-hosted stack, and the documentation covers both.

Worth knowing

The self-hosting path is the Docker Compose reference implementation of the community edition. Paid support agreements and a dedicated cluster are offered beside it.
