Nhost provides Postgres, GraphQL (Hasura), authentication, storage, and serverless functions. Open-source BaaS with a GraphQL-first approach.
Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
