Announcing a new Appwrite Release - a step closer to becoming a complete OSS Firebase Alternative

We are happy to share that we've just released Appwrite 0.8 for Flutter that takes Appwrite a step closer to become a complete open-source alternative to Firebase. The new Appwrite version adds support for JWT auth, ARM devices, Anonymous login, and advanced image manipulations. We'd love any feedback and requests for new features!

Appwrite already has support for Database, Authentication, Storage and Cloud Functions and the team is already working on adding support for real-time, GraphQL, MongoDB, and other pretty cool features that are in the pipeline.

We'd love to learn what features you'd like to see next…

Appwrite community member and Flutter enthusiastic, Damodar Lohani has just released the first episode of his Appwrite + Flutter tutorials series! The first episode covers how to setup Appwrite as your Flutter app open-source backend server and how to create your first database collection.

Appwrite is a new open-source, end to end backend server for frontend and mobile developers that allows you to build apps a lot faster. Appwrite goal is to abstract and simplifies common development tasks behind REST APIs and tools to help developers build advanced apps way faster.

Appwrite server is packaged as a docker container which you can easily set up using a simple docker-compose command from your terminal on either your local machine or cloud provider.

mkdir appwrite-ce && \
cd appwrite-ce && \
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://appwrite.io/docker-compose.yml && \
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans

You can learn more about Appwrite at the official GitHub repository (https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite) or on the official docs website: (https://appwrite.io/docs)

4 easy steps to create a user registration feature in your next website using Appwrite:

1. Create a new Appwrite project
2. Import Appwrite JS SDK
3. Init your SDK with your project ID
4. Call the Appwrite account creation API🏆

let sdk = new Appwrite();

sdk
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
;

let promise = sdk.account.create('email@example.com', 'password');

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log(response); // Success
}, function (error) {
    console.log(error); // Failure
});

I am excited to share that I have just released the new version (0.5) of the Appwrite. Appwrite is a backend server packaged as a set of Docker containers. 🎉

Appwrite has ready to use HTTP APIs for authentication, database, storage, background tasks, and more to help you build web, native, and mobile apps a lot faster and more securely.

The new version adds support for custom domains, auto-generated SSL certificates (with Lets Encrypt's Certbot), dark mode, responsive dashboard, and many more improvements.

The best way to learn more about Appwrite is to visit the project website and docs (https://appwrite.io/docs) or to check out the GitHub repository (https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite).

Building a serverless tool is cool, but we wanted developers to be able to integrate with Appwrite any way they want. Front or back, it's up to developers to know what architecture fits best for their project.

Being unopinionated and cross-platform is a massive part of our dev cycle, but the most important thing is that we really just want to empower developers.
