Developers

Guides for app authors building on Nimbus: tutorials that teach the platform and how-to guides for getting specific things done. Start with the developer quickstart if you haven’t run Nimbus yet, then build your first app.

Platform guides

• Build your first app — a complete tutorial: schema, functions, and live queries.
• Authenticate users — wire an identity provider into your functions.
• Node.js runtime — "use node" actions, packages, and bundling.
• SDK resource model — services, sandboxes, and sessions with the nimbus JS SDK.

Adapter guides

Each protocol surface has a front door and a migration guide:

• Convex — the Convex function model, schema, and clients; migrate a Convex app.
• Firestore — Firestore SDKs against Nimbus; migrate a Firebase app.
• Cloud Functions — Cloud Functions workloads; migrate.
• MongoDB — connect official MongoDB drivers; driver recipes.
• DynamoDB — point AWS SDK clients at Nimbus.
• Native API — plain HTTP and WebSocket from any language, no SDK required.

The full per-surface compatibility matrices live in the Reference section.
