Appwrite Sites

The open-source Vercel alternative

Website appwrite.io
Overview

What it is

Appwrite is an open-source cloud development platform designed for developers who want to get things done. Use built-in backend infrastructure and web hosting, all from a single place.

Intent

I need it when

Deploy applications using preferred frameworks (Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, etc.) with minimal configuration

Appwrite Sites supports multiple web frameworks and languages through quick starts and SDKs, enabling developers to deploy applications built with their preferred technology stack without rewriting code

Scale production applications affordably with transparent, predictable pricing and community support

Appwrite Sites offers free tier for development and Pro plan starting at $25/month for production, with active community support and open-source transparency, helping teams reduce server costs by up to 40% compared to alternatives

Build full-stack applications with integrated authentication, database, and frontend hosting in a single control plane

Appwrite Sites integrates with Appwrite's Auth, Databases, Storage, Functions, Messaging, and Realtime services, allowing developers to manage users, data, files, and frontend code from one dashboard without vendor lock-in

Self-host or use cloud infrastructure while maintaining control over application data and avoiding vendor lock-in

Appwrite Sites is 100% open-source and available for self-hosting or cloud deployment, giving developers flexibility to choose infrastructure while keeping source code accessible and data portable

Deploy static sites, server-side rendered (SSR), and client-side rendered (CSR) frontends without managing separate hosting infrastructure

Appwrite Sites provides an open-source alternative to Vercel, enabling developers to host multiple frontend types (static, SSR, CSR) in one unified platform alongside Auth, Databases, Storage, and Functions, eliminating the need for separate hosting services

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires a dedicated static site hosting service without backend infrastructure; Appwrite Sites is part of a full-stack BaaS platform, not a standalone hosting provider
  • User needs only frontend hosting without authentication, databases, or serverless functions; Appwrite Sites is designed as part of an integrated backend ecosystem
  • User requires managed WordPress or CMS-specific hosting; Appwrite Sites targets developers building custom applications with multiple frameworks
  • User operates on extremely tight budget with no technical resources; Appwrite requires developer expertise to set up and manage infrastructure
  • User needs guaranteed SLA and 24/7 phone support for mission-critical applications; Enterprise support requires custom contact and negotiation
