About Appwrite
Appwrite provides backend services you'd otherwise have to build yourself. Authentication, databases, storage, functions—everything your app needs that isn't your core product.
Self-host it completely or use their cloud. SDKs for every major platform handle the client-side integration. The API design is consistent and developer-friendly.
Teams building apps who want to focus on their product rather than backend infrastructure find Appwrite provides the services they need without the Firebase lock-in.
