The creation and provisioning of your backend should be ready in roughly 30 seconds. Your project has now a GraphQL API, a PostgreSQL database, user management, and storage for your files!

Once your Nhost project is up and running, the Overview page will give information about the endpoints.

There is also a GraphQL API option for you to test the API.
