βοΈ What weβre currently working on
- We hear your requests for more granular event triggers for the Functions service. Weβre working to refine event triggers so your Cloud Functions can listen to specific events.
- We resumed work on GraphQL endpoints to query and manipulate Appwrite resources.
- New Cloud Functions runtimes for C++, C#, Java, and Kotlin.

It turned out to be pretty easy to start with appwrite! It can really get you started much faster than using anything else.
Yeah! Making your life simpler is the point of Appwrite :) Appwrite can handle most things you need to get started, and as you grow, we can even be used alongside the rest of your backend stack.
It really motivates you to just get going building your idea, instead of spending hours deciding on the exact DB or auth solution.
From my understanding, appwrite is a great tool to build tools. It gives you the chance to not worry so much about the backend basics and focus on functionalities and layout.
Yeah, I think you can totally make production ready products with Appwrite (Many Discord community members already do this). Happy hacking!
