Incredible experience with a flexible open-source BaaS. Especially when it comes to identity and access management - historically a headache with AWS, etc. - Appwrite makes it easy! Their rate of growth is also tremendous - powered by a passionate community and an excellent leadership team, they've already overtaken competitors with years' development ahead of them, all before the first funding round! The managed service rounds things out - next steps could be introduction of Bun for JS (already seen leadership exploring this idea in the Discord) and more granular control over storage, but it's still extremely early days. Cannot wait for the cloud service - already primed as a customer!
Thank you Terry for the amazing review. We're always exploring ways to bring more flexibility to Appwrite with support for new platforms, and tools. Bun is something we are exploring, alongside many more integrations, that are being built day and night by both the Appwrite team and community.
Appwrite Cloud is in the works, and early signup is available at: https://appwrite.io/cloud
Very easy to self-host on DigitalOcean, and deploying cloud functions has like zero overhead. Using it as a backend for static sites with contact forms. Pretty nice because I can add custom server-side validation without needing a traditional web server. It's like microservices for people who don't care about docker and k8s.
Hi there! I'm a Full Stack developer of mobile & web apps (Dart/Flutter), and I have to say that I've been literally enjoying Appwrite for almost 1 month! Great software, great docs! Planning to roll-out my first Flutter/Appwrite B2B app (for REAL customers) at the end of this year.
