Deploy bknd in one click installation.
Lightweight Firebase alternative bundling database, auth, media, and admin UI into a single self-hosted backend.
What you can build with bknd
bknd is an open-source backend system that bundles data modeling, authentication, media handling, and workflow primitives into a single lightweight service with an integrated admin UI. Built on Web Standards rather than a single runtime, it runs anywhere from Node and Bun to Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, and Deno Deploy, with adapter-based access to SQLite, LibSQL, or Postgres without forcing abstractions on top of your database driver.
Self-hosting bknd on your own VPS replaces vendor-locked BaaS platforms like Firebase or Supabase with a portable backend you fully own. There are no per-request fees, no row limits, and no surprise pricing as your project grows from prototype to production.
Key features of bknd
Visual data modeling
Define entities, fields, and relations through the admin UI and get instant REST endpoints plus a typed TypeScript SDK for every collection.
Built-in authentication
Email and password sign-in, JWT tokens, roles, and permissions ship out of the box, replacing third-party identity services for most apps.
Integrated media handling
Upload, store, and serve files locally or through S3-compatible providers like R2, Tigris, and Minio without bolting on a separate storage stack.
Workflow automation
Compose multi-step flows that react to data changes, schedule jobs, and call external APIs directly from the same backend powering your app.
Framework adapters
Adapters for Next.js, React Router, Astro, Vite, AWS Lambda, and more let you embed the same bknd instance inside an existing front-end project.
Type-safe SDK
Generated TypeScript types and a React hooks client keep your front-end in lockstep with the backend schema as it evolves over time.

Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
