Hello Product Hunt :) I am Nicolas, maker of Agoston. I am excited to bring Agoston to all of you. Recently switching from the DevOps world to the development world, I needed to develop web applications with great UX to very quickly demonstrate concepts. I wanted to stick with simple and intuitive technology to stay agile and deploy in production immediately after the validation of the concept. Discovering the power of GraphQL and Postgres combined was a revelation. It saves me time delivering such stable and scalable applications as never before. Then, I automated the backend deployment from one project to another to rapidly start coding any ideas. Finally, I recently wrapped it into a public PaaS (Agoston.io), so anyone can fire up a fully self-managed backup on demand. Agoston spawns complete backend with: 🔥 Single GraphQL endpoint 🔥 Self-hosting option at any time 🔥 Unified authentication (1 auth for GraphQL subscriptions and requests) 🔥 Subscriptions 🔥 Dedicated Postgres 🔥 Custom code 🔥 Job scheduling 🔥 Triggers 🔥 Payment collection and validation via Stripe From today, you can sign up with your Gmail, test ant ideas, and go live on production within a day! 🤑 Additionally, I offer 150$ credits to the PH community who signup before the end of the week - use code PHAG200. I'm on the starting block to host your backends and get your feedback! ;) Any questions? Please drop me a comment below. 🙏 Agoston resonates with you? Say it by hitting the upVote above

I read the Agoston docs. Very effective leveraging of tried-and-tested open source solutions. The architecture is more promising than Nhost or Supabase in my opinion. Nhost uses Hasura instead of PostGraphile, which means they can't use all of PostgreSQL's inbuilt features for auth etc. Supabase is rolling their own GraphQL server-in-a-server thingy, which will take forever. They also don't waste time building their own "SQL console", instead just using pgAdmin from the get go. I'll start my project on Agoston.

@arne_wolframm That's feedback! Indeed I'm a big fan of Postgraphile and Postgres. The goal is really to leverage the best from these two by adding a couple of necessary features (e.g. Authentication) making it super easy to use Postgraphile and inbuild Postgres features. A small layer with huge power :) Contact me anytime for support whenever you start your project ;)

@scsi There is a Live Shopping application here: https://github.com/agoston-io/li... With an online demo here: https://live-shopping-ui.agoston.io It's developed with Vue.js 3 and the Apollo client. This gives an example of how to integrate Agoston into your Frontend. Is that what you were thinking about?
