๐Ÿ˜Š Postgres + Firebase + GQL + Frontend + Serverless = NHost ๐Ÿ˜Š

I really love technologies that let you quickly launch a project while avoiding hitting limitations too soon

    NHost is a Cloud / Self-hosted technology that combines:

    โ€“ PostgreSQL โ€“ Hasura โ€“ an auto-generated GQL API on top of a database in Firebase format (you basically make direct database queries from the frontend using) GQL, with flexible access rules and real-time table subscriptions โ€“ A ready-made set of various authentications and authorizations โ€“ S3 storage for files โ€“ Serverless functions (and not just on Node.js) โ€“ CI/CD โ€“ Logs, metrics, traces โ€“ Reverse Proxy โ€“ And an admin panel on top of all this

    All you need to do is write the frontend (and serverless functions if you wish) and then either host it yourself, or use their Cloud version, which will handle everything for you.

    What makes this technology great:

    . These technologies are enough to quickly start any project . Every piece is open source . PostgreSQL โ€“ the database . Hasura โ€“ an amazing technology, practically ideal for building Full-stack applications. Everything it claims actually works . The setup is designed so that there's no tight coupling to NHost, and everything can be deployed and maintained independently . All these technologies are suitable for building truly serious projects . The cloud version has a generous Free Tier (even for PostgreSQL)

    Would you use something like this?

    No. This thing doesn't support the future database. ๐Ÿ˜
