Hey, I'm loving the platform, but I'm really getting hung up on how the hosting works. It just seems really complicated the way the production urls have 5 subdomains and end up having different paths than the local dev urls.

localhost:1337/v1/functions/my/path -> functions.nhost.run/v1/my/path

That gets kind of messy when now the graphql and functions are basically separate urls, doesn't it?

Also, I had kind of hoped that I could put my production backend APIs at my own domain (my.domain.com/v1/graphql), and maybe I can just do redirects or something, maybe I'm overthinking/underthinking this. Is that something I can do or does that defy the purpose of the platform? I would love to not have to self host this thing just yet if possible… Curious if anyone has thoughts or feedback on my concerns.

Thanks for your kind words 🙂

We're working on fixing this here: https://github.com/nhost/cli/pull/497 so that the local URLs matches what's in production.

Custom backend URLs is one of the most requested feature (https://github.com/nhost/nhost/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc). Give that issue a 👍 and help us prioritize it 🙂

oh thank you for the links! Sometimes I'm just drowning in documentation and can't figure out where to even start looking for answers.

yeah, this feature would go a looooong way in instilling confidence in the platform for me. I'm committing pretty hard to nhost for my business, and little things like this make me question my sanity sometimes.
