Build Modern Apps Faster with Appwrite

When building modern applications, backend development can feel like an overwhelming maze of configuration, security concerns, and repetitive boilerplate. Appwrite changes that.

Appwrite is an open-source backend server that helps developers build secure, scalable apps quickly and painlessly. Designed with developer experience in mind, it abstracts away the complexities of backend infrastructure, giving you powerful tools to build Web, Mobile, and Flutter apps using the technologies you already love.

A Backend That Does More

Appwrite is packaged as a suite of microservices running in Docker, which means you can deploy it on your own infrastructure or in the cloud with minimal setup. It’s not just a database or an auth provider, it’s a complete backend platform. From authentication to storage, messaging to real-time updates, Appwrite has it all in one place.

Instead of piecing together separate services, you can manage your entire backend from one platform.

Built-in Features That Matter

With Appwrite, you're not just getting basic features. You're getting deeply integrated tools that are designed to work together and scale with you.

Authentication is secure and flexible, supporting login methods from email and password to OAuth providers, anonymous accounts, magic URLs, and even SMS-based login. Developers can configure rate-limiting, session management, and custom email templates with ease.

Data is handled through Appwrite’s scalable database service. Collections and documents can be queried with advanced filters, protected with robust permission models, and validated to fit your data schema. Whether you're building a small app or something enterprise-scale, this database won’t hold you back.

When you need to run backend logic, Appwrite's Functions let you write custom serverless code in over a dozen programming languages. Functions can be triggered by HTTP calls, scheduled with CRON, or tied to Appwrite system events. And yes, you can deploy straight from GitHub.

For user engagement, Appwrite includes a full Messaging system. It supports push notifications, emails, and SMS, all configurable and previewable before delivery. Real-time location and segmentation are also built-in, so messages are timely and targeted.

File management is another area where Appwrite excels. Upload, store, and serve files with automatic encryption, compression, and image transformation. You can generate QR codes, avatars, and even work with country flags and credit card icons right from the platform.

And when it comes to Realtime, Appwrite lets you subscribe to events across the platform. Need to react when a document is updated or a new user signs up? Just subscribe and handle it instantly.

Scale Like a Team of Hundreds

Appwrite is built for speed and scale. You can build your MVP in minutes and take it to production without switching platforms. Because it's open source, you have full control. You can self-host or choose a cloud option that fits your needs.

Whether you're building a side project or the next big app, Appwrite helps you do it faster, with fewer dependencies, and without sacrificing flexibility.
