aid: nhost
name: Nhost
description: >-
  Nhost is an open-source Firebase alternative that provides a fully managed
  backend platform built on PostgreSQL, GraphQL, and modern open-source tools.
  Developers get instant REST and GraphQL APIs auto-generated from their
  database schema, along with authentication supporting email/password, OAuth,
  magic links, WebAuthn, and one-time passwords. The platform includes S3-
  compatible file storage with CDN delivery and image transformation, serverless
  functions deployable as HTTP endpoints, and real-time GraphQL subscriptions.
  Nhost also offers a local development CLI, GitHub-based automated deployments,
  an AI toolkit with auto-embeddings and assistants, and managed container
  services—enabling teams to launch production-ready backends without
  infrastructure management.
