What Appwrite does
Appwrite provides authentication, databases, file storage, and serverless functions behind a unified API, aimed at developers who want a self-hosted Firebase-style backend. It ships SDKs for most popular frontend and mobile frameworks. Its client SDKs cover web, mobile, and server-side frameworks, so the same backend serves apps across platforms.
