Nhost

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.
