Appwrite, Supabase, and Firebase are all Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms that help developers build apps faster by handling authentication, databases, storage, and serverless functions. However, each has different strengths, weaknesses, and use cases. Let’s compare them! 🚀

🔍 Deep Dive into Each BaaS

1️⃣ Appwrite 🎯 (Best for Self-Hosting & Privacy)

Pros:

  • Open-source and self-hostable on Docker/Kubernetes.
  • Provides authentication, NoSQL database, file storage, and cloud functions.
  • RBAC & Permissions for fine-grained access control.
  • Realtime APIs for database and authentication.
  • Multi-language support (Node.js, Python, PHP, Dart, etc.).

Cons:

  • Limited database options (only NoSQL).
  • Not as mature as Firebase or Supabase.
  • No GraphQL support (yet).
