AppWrite: A Cloud Native Backend-as-a-ServiceCategory: Database, Privacy, Docker, Infrastructure, encryption
While Appwrite only recently reached v0.10, Fux said that its popularity comes from the fact that it fixes a common set of challenges for developers far and wide — complexity.
Cloud solutions like GCP, Azure, or AWS, they’ve done a really great job abstracting that complexity, but they’ve created a new layer of complexity for developers.”
As a set of containerized microservices, AppWrite can run anywhere, whether a major cloud provider, a developer’s local machine, or even a Raspberry Pi, and it is this last point that Fux points to as further evidence for the importance of AppWrite’s growing open source community, which he said added this functionality.
While AppWrite’s ability to be self-hosted is a point of distinction, it can also be a pain point of its own, and that is the reason for the incorporation of AppWrite as a business.
A lot of developers that want to use AppWrite have this barrier of managing their own infrastructure, deploying the solution on different cloud providers, monitoring it and maintaining it,” said Fux.
