Nhost

Nhost is a managed backend platform built on Postgres. It bundles a database, a GraphQL API, authentication, storage and serverless functions, and its code is MIT licensed on GitHub.

Nhost gives developers a complete backend stack that is ready to use and easy to extend. A command line tool runs the whole stack locally, and a dashboard helps you manage the app. You can deploy with a git push and bring your own containers for services written in other languages. The platform also includes AI toolkit features such as embeddings and file stores.

• Postgres database with a GraphQL API
• Authentication and user management
• File storage with a CDN
• Serverless functions in JavaScript or TypeScript
• Local development with a command line tool

Nhost suits startups and indie developers who want a backend without managing servers. It also fits teams that want to scale a Postgres-based app and need deployment pipelines and monitoring.

You can get started for free, and paid plans are listed on the pricing page. Because the platform is managed, you do not run the servers yourself. Check the limits on each plan before you choose one for a production app, and review the data export options early in the project.
