Take your Serverless Functions to new speeds with Appwrite 0.13

  Function examples for open-runtimes (by open-runtimes)

  

The second test we ran was using Appwrite in a real-world scenario to see how the average execution time was improved. For this test, we prepared the same script in six different runtimes. We used an example script of converting a phone number to the country code, as covered in the Open Runtimes examples GitHub repository. The script ran the following commands:

• Swoole

  34 18,213 8.6 C++

  🚀 Coroutine-based concurrency library for PHP

  

To allow for synchronous execution and prioritize speed, we decided to depart from the task-based system that most of our workers use and instead create a new component to Appwrite called the executor. The executor would handle all orchestration and execution responsibilities and remove the Docker socket from the functions worker. The executor is an HTTP Server built with Swoole and Utopia using various Appwrite libraries to interact with the database.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• orchestration

  1 9 4.0 PHP

  Lite & fast micro PHP abstraction library for container orchestration that is **easy to use**.

  

One of the initial challenges was creating an orchestration library that would allow us to easily switch away from Docker down the line if we wanted to. This change would enable us to use other orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Podman and allow our users to run Appwrite using their favorite orchestration tools. Currently, we have two adapters for this library, Docker CLI and Docker API; however, we plan to grow this selection as time progresses.
