An open-source backend-as-a-service platform that provides developers with authentication, databases, storage, and serverless functions out of the box.

Why host Appwrite on Kamatera?
Deploy Appwrite close to your users in North America, Europe, Asia, or the Middle East for optimal latency and compliance with data residency requirements.
Configure servers with the exact CPU, RAM, and storage your Appwrite deployment needs. Scale resources independently as different components face different demands.
Deploy Appwrite across multiple servers with load balancing and replication. Build redundant infrastructure that survives individual server failures.
Schedule automated backups of your entire Appwrite environment. Create snapshots and restore to any previous state.

Frequently asked questions
Appwrite is an end-to-end, open-source backend server for web, mobile, and flutter developers. It provides all the core APIs needed to build a modern application, including authentication, databases, file storage, functions, and real-time capabilities, all wrapped up in a secure and easy-to-use package.
Before installing Appwrite, ensure your system meets these minimum requirements:
2 CPU cores
4GB of RAM
2GB of swap memory
Operating system that supports Docker
Docker Compose Version 2
For more detailed information, refer to the Appwrite installation guide.
Appwrite uses MariaDB for its primary database and Redis for caching and real-time features. Both run as Docker containers within the Appwrite stack. You don’t typically interact with these databases directly. Appwrite provides high-level APIs for data operations. The database scales with your server resources and can be configured for replication and high availability.
During the 30-day trial period, you may create one server with a configuration costing up to $100. You will have 1 TB of free traffic (including both inbound and outbound traffic). Customers must provide a valid credit card to start the trial, but the card will not be charged if you stay within the usage limits stated above. If you wish to cancel the free trial, you can simply terminate your server without incurring any charges. However, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.
Our system accepts credit/debit cards issued by your local bank branch with a cardholder’s name. We also accept payments through PayPal.
Yes, Kamatera provides a fundamentally secure, reliable infrastructure (network security, physical data center protection). However, the user is responsible for the security layers on the VPS itself, including:
· Firewall configuration: Ensuring Kamatera’s firewall or the OS firewall is correctly configured to only allow necessary ports.
· SSL/TLS: Appwrite requires an SSL certificate to secure all communication.
· Operating system updates: Regularly patching the underlying Linux OS to protect against vulnerabilities.
· Appwrite secrets: Securing all keys and secrets used by the Appwrite installation.
Absolutely. Kamatera offers unparalleled vertical and horizontal scalability. You can easily upgrade your VPS resources (CPU, RAM) in minutes as your app gains users (vertical scaling). For substantial growth, you can leverage Kamatera’s networking features to implement complex cluster setups or load balancers for horizontal scaling across multiple Appwrite instances.
Kamatera uses high-performance hardware, including Intel Xeon Platinum processors and fast NVMe SSD storage. This infrastructure is critical for Appwrite’s demanding services, ensuring quick data retrieval and authentication checks, rapid execution of your serverless functions (e.g., image processing, webhook handling), and low latency for instantaneous data synchronization across clients.
