Nhost is an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL, built with the following things in mind:

• Open Source
• GraphQL
• SQL
• Great Developer Experience

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

1. Sign in to Nhost.
2. Create Nhost app.
3. Done.

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: '[email protected]', password: 'userPassword' })

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

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