data-migrator VS Appwrite

That's an example of me uploading a file in DataMigrator. I am using a console flutter sdk generated from the Appwrite source, so I might be wrong about the client sdk you are using. https://github.com/tannermeade/data-migrator

:wave: I've joined Appwrite recently and have been working on documentation over the past month or so. I really appreciate your feedback, certainly not the first time I've seen someone struggle with these problems. Updating and migration has certainly been a pain point for many, especially when I joined right around 0.11->0.12. I think our migration docs needs some work. I've been scratching my head on how to make this experience better, some of it is due to docs, some of it is due to the migration tool. I hear you, I'm trying to stay on top of it. Backups are interesting. We're certainly going to need to offer better support for this, especially as we enter version 1.0. For now, you can do data backups for your MariaDB instance by actually accessing the instance and container (I know a pain) and backup your files by using something like an S3 adaptor. We have some community efforts to perform data migrations/backups too => DataMigrator. We're trying to address the lack of examples in a few ways. 1. I'm updating some of the past blogs as we speak, like 30-days-of-appwrite. 2. We're writing more, new content for the more recent releases. 3. Better generated examples (I've been going after fellow maintainers to help me do this, we generate all our SDKs and SDK docs!) 4. Other forms of content that we've planned. Structured walkthroughs, videos, livestreams. We're not sure yet, but we're working out a plan. In terms of a custom Traefik instance, you can probably deconstruct our docker-compose file and run a separate instance with a similar configuration. This would be a pain, but it's possible... I wish I had a better answer here. API syntax, we made breaking changes to our API several times, which makes our limited number of examples out of date. I've been personally fixing demos and blogs one at a time. Then again, there's only so many I can get to with so little time. TL;DR -> I hear ya! Really appreciate the feedback. Most of these are not isolated complaints and your feedback enforces our decisions to address these issues. We're working on it, we're a tiny team with a massive project, and we appreciate your patience! Cheers!

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together. This integration simplifies the development process, reducing the need for extensive configuration and integration work.

Appwrite is an open source BaaS platform that provides services like serverless functions, serverless databases, user authentication, and messaging. Since its release, it has quickly become a popular choice for building websites and applications.

Appwrite for user management, databases, and serverless functions

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!

Wow, looks nice! I almost felt like I could understand Bitcoins code xD

Could you do Appwrite? https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

I'm not affiliated to them, just wanted to get started hacking it.
