What is appwrite?

A self-hosted Backend-as-a-Service — Firebase/Supabase alternative with built-in Auth, DB, Storage, Realtime, and Functions.

The biggest strength is ~10% the cost of commercial BaaS for medium-sized projects.

Best for indie hackers, startups, agencies shipping fast without Firebase costs at scale.
