Nhost is a serverless backend for web and mobile apps. Nhost consists of open source software pre-configured to make it fast to get started and easy to scale.
This is what you get with Nhost:
- Database: Postgres
- GraphQL API: Hasura
- Authentication: Hasura Auth
- Storage: Hasura Storage
- Functions: JS/TS and Go runtimes
We also provide a UI to manage your database, users, and files. And we have JS/TS and Flutter SDKs to make it easy to work with.
Get Started
Managed at Nhost.io
Sign up and create your first app here.
Then connect to your new Nhost app using the JavaScript/TypeScript SDK or Flutter SDK.
$ npm install nhost-js-sdk
# or
$ flutter i nhost-dart-sdk
In your project, initialize the SDK with the endpoint of your new Nhost App:
import { NhostClient } from '@nhost/nhost-js'
const nhost = new NhostClient({
baseURL: 'https://project-id.nhost.app'
})
export { nhost }
Now you're ready to develop your app.
