Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
