Appwrite

MongoDB is now supported in Appwrite’s open-source, self-hosted version. This integration brings Appwrite on top of a database many teams already know and trust, while keeping the same APIs, SDKs, and workflows. Less operational overhead. More flexibility for self-hosted teams. What this means for you: • Native MongoDB support in self-hosted Appwrite • Drop-in adapter with no changes to your app code • Familiar workflows for MongoDB-based teams • Fully open-source and self-hosted If your team already relies on MongoDB, getting started with Appwrite just became a lot more flexible.

Rust is now supported in Appwrite Functions 🚀 Write functions in Rust 1.83, deploy through the CLI or Console, and use the official Rust SDK for type-safe async access to your backend. Built for hot paths where latency and predictability matter. Read more: appwrite.io/blog/post/anno…

The recent Vercel incident is a reminder that security rarely fails because of a single issue. It usually breaks down through small gaps across authentication, permissions, and infrastructure. At Appwrite, we approach security as a system where each layer is designed to work together and reduce risk by default. If you are building applications for users, this is worth understanding. We break down how Appwrite is designed to reduce these risks by default. Read more: appwrite.io/blog/post/secu…

We benchmarked TTL-based list caching in Appwrite across 100,000 requests. Average latency dropped by more than 2x, and throughput nearly doubled under the same workload. If your app runs the same queries repeatedly, this changes how you think about performance. Read more: appwrite.io/blog/post/ttl-…

Announcing the Variables API in Appwrite 🚀 You can now create, update, and manage environment variables for functions, sites, and projects programmatically using the Appwrite Server SDKs. It helps maintain consistency across environments, simplifies secret rotation, and makes it easier to integrate configuration into your existing workflows.

@arnabch20k Great work on this Arnab ❤️🤘

Go check this out, you gonna love the dx here a lot. Everythings incremental. Complex apps like notification systems would be pretty easy to build with this now. Tons of stories revolved while it was evolving 😌 The best part of this -> it opens a lot of possibilities

We have upgraded how Realtime subscriptions work in Appwrite 🔥 Subscriptions now use a message-based protocol over a single persistent WebSocket instead of relying on URL query strings. This allows you to manage multiple subscriptions on a single connection, update them in place, and avoid URL length limits. The result is more predictable behavior and better scalability for realtime applications. Read more: appwrite.io/blog/post/anno…

GPT-5.5 is here, but what actually changed for developers? Benchmarks look strong, pricing shifts matter, and the real story is how it performs in real workflows. We broke it down so you do not have to dig through system cards and scattered data. Read the full analysis: appwrite.io/blog/post/gpt-…

@appwrite I hate this feeling 😭💔

Builds should fail when something is broken, not because they run out of time. We have increased build timeouts to 45 minutes on Appwrite Cloud for Pro plans and above, giving teams more headroom for larger builds and reducing unnecessary deployment failures. Read more: appwrite.io/changelog/entr…
