Appwrite Backend Platform

Build backends fast with Appwrite. Covers databases and collections, authentication and sessions, storage buckets, serverless functions, realtime subscriptions, permissions, and SDK usage across web, mobile, and server runtimes.

This skill helps you build on the open-source Appwrite backend platform. It models databases, collections and attributes with document-level permissions, wires email/OAuth authentication and sessions, manages storage buckets, deploys serverless functions, subscribes to realtime channels, and integrates the Appwrite SDKs across client and server environments.

When to use

Use when building on Appwrite — databases and collections, auth and sessions, storage, serverless functions, realtime subscriptions, permission rules, or SDK integration.

Examples

Auth + permissions

Secure a collection

Set up Appwrite email/password auth and a documents collection where each user can only read and write their own rows using document-level permissions

Serverless function

Run backend logic

Write an Appwrite function triggered on user.create that provisions a default workspace document and sends a welcome email
