Just looking into Appwrite, the open-source backend that packs a lot in one spot: Auth, Databases, Storage, Serverless Functions, Realtime, and Messaging. It seems designed to speed up development, letting you self-host or use their cloud, and it works with many languages.

I'm curious:

How has Appwrite worked out for you in practice?

How does an "all-in-one" compare to using separate tools in your workflow?
