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.

Get Started Option 1: Nhost Hosted Platform

Sign in to Nhost.
Create Nhost app.
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.

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

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

const nhost = new NhostClient({
  subdomain: '<your-subdomain>',
  region: '<your-region>'
})

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.
