Nhost provides Postgres, GraphQL (Hasura), authentication, storage, and serverless functions. Open-source BaaS with a GraphQL-first approach.
Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
