Appwrite is a new open-source, end-to-end, back end server for front-end and mobile developers that allows you to build apps much faster. Its goal is to abstract and simplify common development tasks behind REST APIs and tools, helping developers build advanced apps faster.

In this piece I will cover some of the main Appwrite services. I will explain their main features and how they’re designed to help you build your next project much faster than if you had to write all your back end APIs from scratch.

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