Nhost is an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL.

The Nhost CLI is used to get a local development environment. The local development environment will automatically track database migrations and hasura metadata.

It's recommended to use the Nhost CLI and the Nhost GitHub Integration to develop locally and automatically deploy changes to production with a git-based workflow (similar to Netlify & Vercel).
