Appwrite VS nhost

Appwrite (REST, GraphQL)

We truly believe that every application is unique in its own way, and Appwrite Functions are a way to express that. We put extra effort into making sure Functions can do anything, but there is always room for improvement. Since Appwrite 1.3, we noticed a lot of community projects such as Appwrite Funcover or Appwrite Functions Proxy, and many GitHub feature requests like Global Environment Variables, Private Package in Functions, or Function with Typescript. All of that was a foundation for what we introduced in Appwrite 1.4.

When testing our application, we might notice an error screen complaining about a missing URL. It’s an open issue that should be resolved soon.

If you're trying Appwrite for the first time, Appwrite is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service platform that provides you with pre-built APIs for fundamental services such as databases, storage, authentication, cloud functions, etc., that you need to build any application you'd like. You can either self-host Appwrite using Docker, or sign up for our managed service, Appwrite Cloud.

Last week, Appwrite launched its .NET SDK in Beta to support C# and .NET in building server-side apps more efficiently and productively. The announcement had me very excited because .NET and C# are among my absolute favourite technologies!

I take the time to explain everything from project setup in Appwrite Cloud, Building the User Interface using Ionic Framework Vue Components, and finally deploying the application using Ionic Capacitor on not only IOS but Android devices.

Appwrite is a powerful open-source backend platform that enables you to create secured and scalable (web and mobile) applications. With Appwrite, you don't need to worry about the backend resources of your application because with Appwrite, you - "Build Fast. Scale Big. All in One Place."

In this article, we will look at how to build a simple message board web app with Next.js and AppWrite. In the end, we’ll have a working web app where users can authenticate, post their messages and read the messages of others. I worked with developers on my team to put this guide together. We think this is a good context for learning how to better use these tools and to build something useful along the way.

Appwrite - Build Fast. Scale Big. All in One Place. Appwrite is a backend platform for developing Web, Mobile, and Flutter applications. Built with the open source community and optimized for a developer experience in the coding languages you love.

See the testimonial on the official Appwrite page.

Hasura ❌ (technically yes with Nhost)

Yeah, I knew of those, I think that's discussed often enough on the dotnet subs. Ory and Zitadel I knew too, but those provide just one thing, and are not native to dotnet. Altough I'll admit, stuff like nhost seem native to typescript but uses go projects under the covers as well.

You can use Nhost (100% open source): https://github.com/nhost/nhost/tree/main/examples/docker-compose

Both are built by us, yes.

Hasura Auth has 1M+ pulls on Docker Hub and we have JS SDKs for both Auth and Storage.

Another reason for me to eagerly participate in this hackathon was to get started with nhost. I must applaud their commendable documentation. It was butter smooth for me to get started and immediately feel confident about how I wanted to structure the backend for my application. The option of providing custom hooks for the NextJS application is the cherry on the cake moment for me 😃. Additionally, the integration with Hasura console made it very easy for me to work with GraphQL API. Understanding user roles and permissions was something new that I learnt. I was able to customize authorization for a different set of users based on their roles.

This is a fifteen days long hackathon sponsored by NHost. You need to build a project using any of the tools from React ecosystem and NHost services and write a blog about it.

We have a Vue client available too: https://github.com/nhost/nhost/tree/main/packages/vue

OH, that's unfortunate. I hope it was resolved. If not, you can get help on GitHub (https://github.com/nhost/nhost) or Discord (https://nhost.io/discord).
