What is Nhost

Nhost is a complete backend service that provides everything needed to build modern applications. You get a PostgreSQL database, a real-time GraphQL API, user authentication with multiple sign-in options, file storage for images and documents, and the ability to run custom code.

Unlike traditional backend setup that requires technical expertise in servers and security, Nhost handles all of this automatically. The platform is fully open-source, meaning you own your data and can move it anywhere without being locked into one provider.

It runs on cloud servers with automatic backups and updates. You can develop your project locally on your computer, then deploy it with a simple push to GitHub. Everything scales automatically as your user base grows.
