Nitric is a multi-language framework for building cloud backends with infrastructure declared inline in application code. It provisions resources like APIs, databases, queues, and buckets, and deploys to AWS, GCP, or Azure via pluggable providers without changing application code.

Use cases

• build cloud backends with infrastructure from code
• deploy the same app to aws gcp or azure without code changes
• define apis queues and databases inline in application code
• run cloud apps locally during development
• avoid vendor lock-in for serverless applications
• generate terraform or pulumi infrastructure from application code

When to choose

• you want portable cloud backends across aws, gcp, and azure
• you prefer declaring infrastructure inline with application code
• you need local development with a dashboard for cloud apps
• your team works across multiple languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, or Dart

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained control over raw cloud resources beyond the provided escape hatches
• you are locked into a single provider's native tooling and services
• you need a cloud not covered by built-in or custom providers
