Exactly..

Not necessarily. You can be an alternative to an existing solution in many different ways.

by christyjacob4 4y ago
Not really. Appwrite focuses more on simplicity and a seamless developer experience and the Firebase API is not one of them

Isn't Directus a CMS? Doesn't seem to be a backend/platform -as-a-service

Yes, we are working on a more native alternative with the likes of a Makefile or some Ansible scripts. However it has not been a major priority since we didn't have many community members ask for it yet. However, we'd be more than
