Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform providing authentication, databases, file storage, serverless functions, messaging, realtime events, and web hosting through a unified API. It can be used as a managed cloud service or self-hosted via Docker, with SDKs for web, mobile, and server platforms.
Use cases
- add authentication with oauth and magic links to my app
- self-hosted firebase alternative for my backend
- store and query app data without managing a database server
- send push notifications and emails from my app
- run serverless functions for my mobile app
- subscribe to realtime database updates over websockets
- host and deploy a nextjs site with backend included
When to choose
- you want a complete backend (auth, db, storage, functions) from one vendor, self-hosted or cloud
- you're building web, mobile, or Flutter apps and want SDKs for many platforms
- you need realtime subscriptions across all backend services
- you want an open-source alternative to Firebase or Supabase you can host yourself
When to avoid
- you need complex SQL queries, joins, or stored procedures beyond simple relational modeling
- you require fine-grained control over your database engine or infrastructure
- you only need a single narrow capability where a dedicated tool fits better
- your team requires SOC-2/HIPAA compliance on the free self-hosted tier without enterprise support
