Nhost

Open-source Firebase alternative with GraphQL

About Nhost

At its core, Nhost is an open-source backend platform built on PostgreSQL, GraphQL, authentication and storage. In practice, it pairs Hasura's GraphQL engine with serverless functions and can be self-hosted or used as a cloud service. For developers, the appeal is simple: less infrastructure busywork, faster feedback and tooling that fits into existing workflows instead of replacing them wholesale.
