Appwrite Cloud Beta - Build like a team of hundreds

App development is complex and oftentimes, repetitive. Creating modern applications requires a ton of different skills and has a huge learning curve. I started working on Appwrite back in 2019 to abstract the complexity of software development so there could be a greater focus on creating value and, more importantly, having fun writing code. Over the past few years, we have seen countless developers build their projects with Appwrite. However, your only option was to self host Appwrite, which although very simple, still added some friction to the experience. Although there was a lot of adoption, we also heard feedback from the community that self-hosting was not for everyone. It’s time-consuming, requires infrastructure management and, most of all, not accessible to every developer. This all was in contradiction to what Appwrite believes in, making it possible for every creator to create products the world loves. To stay true to our purpose, we decided to develop our own cloud solution. One that would make Appwrite accessible to more developers. A cloud that would make building a lot more enjoyable and a lot less repetitive. A solution that would integrate easily with your existing tech stack and could easily adjust to your current projects’ needs. Appwrite Cloud Beta provides you with Authentication, Databases, Storage, Serverless Functions, and a Realtime API and lots more. We support over 6 runtimes, 13 SDKs, coding languages and frameworks so you can build with the language most comfortable for you. Some other highlighted features that make all the difference are automated git deployments, function templates for adding Stripe payments and subscriptions, an AI chatbot, and messaging with WhatsApp x Vonage, database relationships, password security, GraphQL support, Command Center with AI assistant, customizable email templates, and migrating your project data from and to Appwrite Cloud in a few clicks. All in all, we are very proud of what we have accomplished together with the community over the past months and are excited to bring you Appwrite Cloud Beta. We continue to look towards the Product Hunt community for support and feedback in order to improve. You can create your Cloud account and get started on cloud.appwrite.io. Our Starter plan is free and gives you unlimited projects, so it’s a great plan to explore and start your projects. We will be available for support, and we’re excited to hear about your feedback while Cloud is still in beta and use that feedback and the power of the open source community to constantly improve and get better.

Appwrite Cloud Beta is a culmination of months of effort with one goal in mind, to bring you the best Appwrite experience possible. One of our main goals during the Beta, is to ensure the platform's stability before we can move onto general availability. During this time we understand there will be bugs and occasional hiccups, but I assure you our team is always available to address any issues and deploy quick fixes. While in Beta, Appwrite Cloud is free to use. However, we've shared our pricing plans to give you a better sense of what it would be like to build on Appwrite in the future. I assure you, we've worked hard to give you some of the most compelling plans ever. https://appwrite.io/pricing We hope you will enjoy building with Appwrite Cloud 🫶

Congratulations to the Appwrite team on the launch 🤩😍🎉. Appwrite is one of the best Open Source Backend platforms, I really like the seamless authentication and user management. I used Appwrite Cloud for my Open Source tool "Snippet Builder"(https://snippetbuilder.com/) a Drag and drop code snippet builder, that effortlessly showcases your code in a visually appealing and professional manner. Thank you for creating an amazing platform.

Appwrite Cloud is Awesome!!! Check it out with ILLA Cloud Integration.

Started using Appwrite quite before the v1 hit. When it was only self hostable. The degree of dedication, support and friendliness from the team but also the genuinely awesome product they offer made them the best, to me at least. And so it was when they made their cloud platform and asked for devs opinions. They listened. To me, they're the single best open source company and community. Thank you for what you do guys! Already building my next app on your cloue:)

Congratulations on the launch! Big fan of your landing page and your branding. Appwrite looks awesome! I see many similarities between Appwrite and Firebase. I'm a long time Firebase user and am excited about seeing new products in the market. I have used Supabase on a few projects as well. What is the main differentiator between Appwrite and the others?

following Appwrite’s journey since its 2022 GKA and I have to admit: I absolutely *love* this redesign. definitely among the most well-designed OSS products. keep up your great work, @laura_du_ry1 and ?makers team 👏👏

Congratulations on the launch! Love the new version of appwrite brand!

Appwrite Cloud has been very helpful in making the development process faster! My favourite feature is the function templates and Appwrite assistant!

Congratulations! This is going to be awesome.
