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: Auth
• Storage: 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

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

Option 2: Local Development (CLI)

The Nhost CLI is the easiest way to start developing locally. It sets up a local environment that tracks database migrations and Hasura metadata.

Install the CLI:

pnpm add -D @nhost/cli, yarn add -D @nhost/cli, or bun add -d @nhost/cli

• macOS / Linux: brew install nhost/tap/nhost or curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nhost/nhost/main/cli/get.sh | bash
• Nix: nix profile install github:nhost/nhost#cli
• npm / pnpm / Yarn / Bun: npm install -D @nhost/cli,

Start building:

nhost login
nhost init
nhost up

Read the full CLI Quickstart guide.

Option 3: 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 and Make a GraphQL Request

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

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

const nhost = createClient({
  subdomain: 'your-project',
  region: 'eu-central-1'
})

await nhost.auth.signInEmailPassword({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: '<password>'
})

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

Frontend Agnostic

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