I put this on Supabase's launch post too, but would you consider supporting a more traditional compute model? i.e. the ability to run an always-on docker container that runs a web server or similar (similar to dokku or heroku). I realise functions are the new hotness, but as far as I can see for non hobby projects they mainly have downsides any very little upside.
- vincentmarle 5y agoFrom their readme it looks like you can host it however you want: > Appwrite backend server is designed to run in a container environment. Running your server is as easy as running one command from your terminal. You can either run Appwrite on your localhost using docker-compose or on any other container orchestration tool like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher.
- nicoburns 5y agoHmm... I think I'm not quite the target market. For me the whole point of a tool like this is that I don't need to worry about maintaining this kind of thing. All the guff around auth and functions is just stuff I have to put up with to get that hosted niceness.
- vincentge 5y agoThere's two ways to address this if you don't wanna maintain/host. There will be a hosted Appwrite Cloud option => https://appwrite.io/cloud https://appwrite.io/cloud There is a way to do 1 click deployment on Digital Ocean Marketplace: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/appwrite https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/appwrite With these options, you can put off the whole mess with devops, infra, and hosting to someone else :')
- eldad_fux 5y agoYes, this is something we would consider in the long run. Functions are great, but not for every use case.
