Nhost is an open-source GraphQL backend, built with the following things in mind:

• Open-Source
• Developer Productivity
• SQL
• GraphQL

Nhost consists of open source software:

• Database: PostgreSQL
• Instant GraphQL API: Hasura
• Authentication: Hasura Auth
• Storage: Hasura Storage
• Serverless Functions: Node.js (JavaScript and TypeScript)
• Nhost CLI for local development

Architecture of Nhost

Visit https://docs.nhost.io for the complete documentation.

How to get started

Option 1: One-click deployment with Nhost (recommended)

1. Create Nhost account (you can use GitHub to sign up)
2. Create Nhost app
3. Done!

Option 2: Self-hosting

Since Nhost is 100% open source, you can self-host the whole Nhost stack. Check out the example docker-compose file to self-host Nhost.

Sign in a user and make your first GraphQL query

Install the @nhost/nhost-js package and start build your app:

import { NhostClient } from '@nhost/nhost-js'

const nhost = new NhostClient({
  backendUrl: 'https://awesome-app.nhost.run'
})

await nhost.auth.signIn({ email: 'elon@musk.com', password: 'spaceX' })

await nhost.graphql.request(`{
  users {
    id
    displayName
    email
  }
}`)

Frontend Agnostic

Nhost is frontend agnostic, which means Nhost works with all frontend frameworks.
