We use Appwrite Cloud for our secure license validation backend. It’s rock-solid, privacy-friendly, and made it super easy to manage licenses without building everything from scratch.
We used Appwrite to handle all the heavy backend stuff - user accounts, database, storage. It saved us time and headaches, so we could focus on building the actual product.
Easy to use, superb backend and cloud solution
Shoutout to Appwrite for powering recode’s backend — Appwrite Auth and Database let me ship secure sign-in, password reset, and snippet storage quickly so I could focus on UX.
Appwrite’s table structure makes it incredibly easy to build, manage, and view collections. It feels powerful without the overhead.
Built with ❤️ using Appwrite for secure authentication handling, sign-ups, email verification, password recovery, and login, all privacy-safe and open-source.
Just played around with Appwrite Sites and wow — it's exactly the kind of 'one-stop shop' I’ve been hoping for. Integrating frontend hosting directly into the backend platform feels like magic — no more juggling Vercel, Netlify, or AWS for simple web apps. The fact that it's all open source, supports both static and server-rendered projects, and talks to Appwrite’s auth, DB, and functions out of the box? Game changer. Massive props to the Appwrite team for delivering such a thoughtful, dev-friendly experience!
Appwrite is perfect for solo and small group developers as it has a very easy UI. It helped me distributing and developing a great database system.
Went with Appwrite over Firebase for its open-source nature and flexibility. The real-time database perfectly handles widget updates, and having the option to self-host means no vendor lock-in. Plus, the authentication system with OTP was super straightforward to implement.
We use Appwrite as the backend for our platform and it’s been a great choice. Beyond just handling our database and authentication, it also includes built-in tools like email, messaging, and storage all in one place. That makes development faster and easier for our lean team, especially as we scale. Highly recommend for startups looking for an all-in-one backend solution.
It'll be my 1st choice if the Database is based on Postgres. RLS policies are better than specifying permissions on the client side.
Appwrite’s been a huge time-saver for us. It handles all the backend stuff—auth, database, storage, without needing to set up a bunch of different services. Super easy to get started and works really well out of the box.
ppwrite has quickly become one of my favorite backend platforms for building modern web and mobile apps. It's an open-source backend-as-a-service (BaaS) that provides a full suite of core backend features like authentication, databases, file storage, functions, and more — all accessible via a clean REST or GraphQL API.
