Appwrite: Open-Source Back End as a Service (opens in new tab)

The backend is a crucial part of any modern application. Whether you're building a website, mobile app, or other software experience, it can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming to develop features like authentication, file storage, and database management. As a result, many software teams find themselves relying on expensive solutions like Google's Firebase or Amazon's Amplify. However, it doesn't have to be that way! Appwrite is an open-source, self-hostable backend as a service (BaaS) meant as an alternative to these costly managed services.
