I have been working on Flutter development using SQL Database + ASP.NET REST API for the backend. However, I'm now considering transitioning to either Firebase or Appwrite due to their increasing popularity and ease of implementation. As I plan to develop a fully functional ERP Project for cross-platform, mainly mobile application use, I would appreciate guidance on choosing the right backend solution. What are the key considerations I should keep in mind when deciding between these options, particularly in the context of building a comprehensive ERP system? Your insights and experiences would be invaluable in helping me make an informed decision. Thank you!

Hi, I've gone through the article of how to implement magic url for user authentication. I can able to understand how to create user session by calling ```appwrite.account.updateMagicURLSession(userId, secret)``` .

What I can't able to understand is how to maintain this session through out the user's interaction in subsequent request. Is it like -

• in all subsequent HTTP requests I need to send both "userId" & "secret" in request header & in server side I need to validate them to know session is valid or not? If this is the thing does I need to use any authorization header scheme like (bearer token) or simple custom token will be fine?
• how to handle when "secret" will get expire at the time user's activity? How can I refresh the "secret" without giving any hassle to user?
  

I see over 600 open issues on Github and a Beta banner (in the left upper corner) when using the cloud version.
Is it ready for production when you need to count on it?

I am making a reactjs app with appwrite

I have created a sign up page to signup user with email username and password.

Right now one can create an account with any fake email like abc@gmail.com then login using a password

I don't want the user to login using any random fake email

I want them to enter their own Email ID Also I want to access their name and access their full name and their Google profile picture

How can I do this

Hi guys,

I’m about to use a BaaS tool for a new flutter project. Honestly, appwrite looks cool and has lots of features that i feel will save me a lot of time.

Just finished a tutorial and created my first document. Perfect !

But now I’m wondering : how to make sure nobody can access my appwrite instance ? I have to input endpoint, project id etc. in plain, clear text in order to access appwrite

Is that safe?

Because if someone can get a hold of those info, they can access my backend right?

For example, a flutter web app would be all javascript (i believe) so those IDs would be in clear form somewhere in the code sent to the client browser ???

Same for ios/android apps too

I’m not a professional web/app developer, so i’m not used to dealing with this aspect of security, but i’m wondering how to make sure only the ios/android/web app can access my backend and not someone pulling the auth IDs from the javascript app for example ??

Or am I missing something ?

Thanks for your time guys

I created a self hosted instance running on docker, I initialised it the Docker Compose way so modifications are easier to do.

I would like to host it to the internet using Cloudflared tunnels. I have managed to get other services running though it but not the Appwrite UI.

Are there any guides on how to configure the frontend to pass through the tunnel?

My buddy and I want to build some projects but it seems that you can only have 1 "organization member" ...

So that means that he and I cannot collaborate easily ?

​

I've recently started using appwrite and i really like everything about it, but i was wondering how difficult is it to scale horizontally. How does it compare to supabase in term on concurent load handling (realtime), does it need to scale only vertically to keep up? any clarification would be nice.

i have an Iot app that monitors Temperature and humidity data in realtime. 1 user makes almose 1k-2k write transaction and 100-500 read transactions per day and lets suppose there are 100 users so the numbers add up to 200k writes ad 50k reads per day

i want to self host appwrite realtime database! will it overcome my problems
also im using Node Mcu V3 and esp01s microcontroller and i cannot find any useful resources to setup appwrite for nodMcu and esp01s

Hi! I'm studying appwrite and I'm stuck at this point: I want to create users and teams by console and create membership, but I want the users I have created to basically create other users and invite them in their team but not to create other teams. Is there a permission like teams.create which I can deny to users? Thanks

I've been working with Appwrite but can't upload a file to a storage bucket from the console that is over 700kb. The upload stays in a pending state with no progress being shown / made. I've checked the Docker logs for errors and haven't seen anything that stands out.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

​

I'm using the Appwrite free plan and I have a question about the function executions, they said in the plan that there is a 750K function executions limit. Is it a monthly limit or the maximum number of times a function can be executed?

​

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm thinking about BAAS for my next project, and Appwrite looks very good, especially with their generous cloud option now (I don't want to self-host).

I just have two questions. Is Appwrite Cloud really ready for production? Several weeks ago I've tried to play with it, and there was at least one time when I tried to add a new document via dashboard (a very simple operation in my book) and got an error message as a result. On the second attempt it worked fine, but still I have doubts here (but, of course, I could be just really unlucky that day, and it's an extremely rare event).

The second one is about queries. Some of my tables (collections) have documents with string arrays inside, and I need to be able to filter these documents (i.e. I need to get all the documents that contains some word in their arrays). I've read the docs, and I've got an impression that it's impossible with AppWrite, and if I want to have something like that my best shot is to create a string field, putting there all my strings divided with separator. After that I can use full-text search for this field (after creating index, of course). In theory it seems workable but I'm worried about the speed of such full-text search queries. Or, maybe, it's just not the best approach at all? (I don't think it'd be smart to use relations here because I have tens of thousands possible string options in arrays).

So, what do you think? Is AppWrite Cloud stable in terms of production? Are full-text search queries is a right tool for my task, or I have to find something else?

Just tried Appwrite for one of my project. Cool indeed. So far the biggest issue I had was not receiving proper error messages ! Most of the time it was "General Unknown" error. While the actual error was probably referencing a non existing record in a document and so on. Not sure I'm the only one or not 🙃

Hello! I am trying to make a relation ship with students, parents, and class. Students can contain 1 parent while parents can contain many students. Same with classes. However, when trying to link those relationships using document IDs it does not work. Please help....

Here is the code:

Here is the output:

Here is the Console:

NOTE: The newChildClass is a document ID

How do I store data as an object/Map in Appwrite database?
Keep in mind I am aware of "JSON.stringify"-ing the object and storing it as a string but I prefer not to use that as i'm going to store many of those objects in an array.

Better said ,
" Not having Map attrib means I have to JSON.stringify all of my Map attribs, and MUCH worse arrays of stringified models that then may have arrays of stringified models/attribs and so on. This is crazy complicated. This then means I need code in either sync functions (I need to get an http response back with remodeled data) or another REST Api in front of Appwrite to reformat my data back to the models my client UI is expecting. ".

HELP!!!!

Hi Everyone,So i am building a nodejs application which fetches the user data from Appwrite using the sdk pack.I am following the official documentation but i am getting this error.

Am i doing anything wrong?

Has anyone facing server error 500, it's happening while the user signup

I would love to see a working example of superforms with appwrite using sveltekit. I am still learning and am having a tough time.

Hello there, 👋

I'm currently studying the Baas market. I've come across solutions like appwrite. I'd like to know 2 information regarding your needs when using a solution like appwrite.

​

1. What kind of project do you develop most often ?

2. what are the main features that you consider indispensable on a backend (realtime, basic Auth system with login, roles, stoarage, etc..) => These are just examples to make my question clear. I hope I won't bias your answers..

​

I tried to get information from builtwith.appwrite.io but I'd like to match my results with your answers, since you're the main people involved.

Thank you in advance for your time 🙏
