Review Appwrite?

Reviewers mostly see Appwrite as a practical, open-source backend that saves time by bundling auth, database, storage, functions, realtime, and now hosting in one place. They repeatedly praise its easy setup, self-hosting, strong docs, helpful community, and smooth use with Flutter, Python, and static sites. A founder of Imagine says their team relies on Appwrite Cloud for core infrastructure and hosting. Criticism is narrower but sharp: some users report cloud stability issues, slow function development, limited database flexibility, and a dashboard missing basic filters.

Just played around with Appwrite Sites and wow — it's exactly the kind of 'one-stop shop' I’ve been hoping for. Integrating frontend hosting directly into the backend platform feels like magic — no more juggling Vercel, Netlify, or AWS for simple web apps. The fact that it's all open source, supports both static and server-rendered projects, and talks to Appwrite’s auth, DB, and functions out of the box? Game changer. Massive props to the Appwrite team for delivering such a thoughtful, dev-friendly experience!

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

Appwrite get's it right out of the box in seconds saving our team at Ablestate weeks of backend setup. It would be great if it supported Strapi or shipped a JavaScript Appwrite powered CMS. Of course aggregator functions are a much needed feature. That said, I haven't seen a NoSQL BaaS that offers the best developer experience than Appwrite.
