Audience

Developers and engineering teams interested in a tool providing a unified backend framework that lets them define infrastructure in code, deploy to multiple cloud providers, iterate locally, and manage APIs

About Nitric

Nitric is an open source, cloud-agnostic backend framework that enables developers to declare infrastructure as code and automate deployments using pluggable plugins. It supports multiple languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and Dart. Key features include defining APIs (REST, HTTP), serverless functions, routing, authentication/authorization (OIDC-compatible), storage (object/file storage, signed URLs, bucket events), databases (e.g., managed Postgres with migrations), messaging (queues, topics, pub/sub), websockets, scheduled tasks, and secrets management. Nitric integrates with tools like Terraform or Pulumi, or lets you write your own plugins, and works with major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). It also supports local development with simulated cloud environments so you can prototype, test, and iterate without incurring cloud cost. The framework emphasizes declarative security, resource access management, and portability.
