Appwrite
Appwrite provides an open-source developer platform with databases, authentication, storage, functions, and messaging.
About Appwrite
Appwrite is a developer platform that provides backend services for building apps. The homepage lists authentication, databases, file storage, serverless functions, frontend hosting (Sites), messaging, firewall, and realtime events as modular products within one project. It also describes support for AI agents, including MCP.
The homepage describes Appwrite as open source, but the directory record lists open source as false and no repository, so confirm this before relying on it. Pricing is not confirmed in this entry. Security and compliance items (encryption, DDoS protection, GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, CCPA) are described as safeguards and support, not as guarantees of safety or legal compliance. Where data is stored depends on the regions and edges chosen, and the homepage lists external services and cloud and self-hosted options as part of the platform.
Key features
- Authentication with email, SMS, OAuth, anonymous sessions, and magic URLs
- Databases, or managed PostgreSQL and MySQL, for modeling and querying data
- File storage with compression, encryption, image transformations, and access control
- Serverless functions with isolated runtimes and event-driven execution
- Frontend deployment from Git for static, SSR, and CSR apps, with instant previews
- Email, SMS, and push notifications through one messaging service
Best for: Developers and teams building web or mobile apps who want authentication, data storage, functions, and messaging in one platform.
