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.

How to Use Nhost

Getting started with Nhost takes just a few steps:

  • Create an account: Sign up at nhost.io using your GitHub account or email address. This takes less than a minute.

  • Start a new project: Click "Create Project" and choose a name and region. Nhost sets up your database, API, and authentication automatically.

  • Build your database: Open the Hasura console to create tables and relationships. You can add data through a simple interface without writing complex SQL.

  • Connect your app: Install the Nhost SDK for your framework (React, Vue, Next.js, etc.) and add the connection code to your project.

  • Add authentication: Use built-in sign-up and login components. Nhost supports email, social logins, magic links, and more.

  • Deploy updates: Connect your GitHub repository. Every time you push code, Nhost automatically deploys your changes to production.
