About Appwrite
Appwrite hardens auth and broadens its framework and runtime surface as a Firebase alternative.
Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service competing with Firebase and Supabase across auth, functions, storage, realtime, and hosted Sites. The recent cadence is broad and infrastructure-heavy: auth hardening (password strength, email policies), new realtime primitives (Presences), storage speedups, more build runtimes (Bun, Deno, Dart, Flutter), and a first-class React library. It also tightened free-tier economics by deleting long-paused free projects.
