Nhost is an open source backend-as-a-service platform positioning itself as an alternative to Google’s Firebase by removing infrastructure friction for developers. Its stack includes a PostgreSQL database, a real-time GraphQL API (supported for frameworks like React, Flutter, and Vue), authentication, file storage, and serverless functions. Nhost also provides a managed cloud offering with plans for hobbyists, professionals, and enterprises, and emphasizes developer experience, scalability, and transparency. The company’s initial customer base is largely indie-hackers, startups, and agencies, and it reports around 110 paying customers. Nhost is rolling out enterprise-grade features requested by larger customers, including single sign-on (SSO), audit logs, and ISO certificates. The company follows a bottom-up go-to-market approach and plans a separate enterprise sales channel when the time is right.
