Appwrite Review (2026)
Your backend, your rules. Open source backend server for web and mobile.
About Appwrite
Appwrite is an open source backend-as-a-service that gives you authentication, databases, storage, functions, and messaging without handing your data to Google. Self-host on your own infrastructure or use Appwrite Cloud. Unlike Firebase (Google owns your data, vendor lock-in, no SQL), AWS Amplify (complexity nightmare, billing surprises), or Azure Mobile Apps (Microsoft telemetry), Appwrite is 100% open source, fully self-hostable, and designed to never lock you in. REST and GraphQL APIs. 30+ SDKs. Real-time capabilities. SOC 2 in progress. Built by developers who got tired of being the product.

Runs locally on my machine. Zero data leaves my hardware. Perfect
Love that this exists. The big tech alternatives are surveillance tools pretending to be products
Open source and self-hostable. This is how all software should be built
