End-to-end backend platform for web, mobile, and native apps
Appwrite delivers authentication, databases, storage, functions, messaging, and hosting as Docker microservices. Build secure full-stack applications faster with built-in backend infrastructure optimized for developer experience.
Appwrite is an end-to-end development platform packaged as Docker microservices, designed for web, mobile, native, and backend applications. It abstracts the complexity of building modern apps from scratch by providing a unified backend server and integrated hosting solution for both static and server-side rendered frontends.
Developers gain immediate access to user authentication with multiple sign-in methods, databases for storing and querying user and team data, file storage with image manipulation, Cloud Functions for custom logic, messaging via push notifications, email, and SMS, plus spatial database columns for location-based features. All services are secured, encrypted, and designed to work together seamlessly.
Appwrite runs in containerized environments using Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher. Teams can self-host on localhost or production infrastructure, or use Appwrite Cloud for managed hosting. One-click deployments are available through DigitalOcean, Gitpod, Akamai Compute, and AWS Marketplace. The platform supports 20+ SDKs across client, server, and mobile frameworks including React, Next.js, Flutter, React Native, Node.js, Python, and more.
When teams consider Appwrite, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Multi-platform mobile and web application
Single backend powering iOS, Android, and web clients with unified authentication, real-time databases, and file storage across all platforms
SaaS product with team collaboration
User management, team memberships, role-based access control, and secure document storage managed through built-in Teams and Databases services
Location-based service application
Spatial database columns enable efficient querying of geographic data for mapping, delivery, or proximity-based features
Agency client project deployment
Rapid full-stack development using pre-built authentication, storage, and messaging reduces time-to-market for client applications
Both options are available. Self-host using Docker on your infrastructure with Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher, or use managed Appwrite Cloud. One-click deployments are also available via DigitalOcean, AWS Marketplace, Akamai Compute, and Gitpod.
Appwrite provides 20+ SDKs including client SDKs for React, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, Flutter, React Native, iOS, and Android, plus server SDKs for Node.js, Python, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Dart, Deno, Kotlin, and Swift.
All uploaded files are scanned by ClamAV antivirus and stored in a secure, encrypted environment. Storage includes built-in image manipulation and preview generation with access control managed through the platform.
Appwrite includes authentication and account management, user and team management, databases with advanced filtering, file storage with image manipulation, Cloud Functions, messaging (push, email, SMS), and integrated web hosting.
