Overview

Appwrite is an end-to-end platform for building Web, Mobile, Native, or Backend apps, packaged as a set of Docker microservices. It includes both a backend server and a fully integrated hosting solution for deploying static and server-side rendered frontends. Appwrite abstracts the complexity and repetitiveness required to build modern apps from scratch and allows you to build secure, full-stack applications faster. Using Appwrite, you can easily integrate your app with user authentication and multiple sign-in methods, a database for storing and querying users and team data, storage and file management, image manipulation, Cloud Functions, messaging, and more services.
