Proposal 2025: Appwrite Integration Module for Drupal

Hello, This is Chinnari Narashimha. I am interested in working on this project.
I totally get that Drupal is looking to integrate Appwrite, but for what use? I heard Drupal will be using Supabase for authentication. So, what will they be utilizing Appwrite for?

Thank You

Thanks @aditya4478, for closing the duplicate, somehow I might have accidently submitted it twice,

@narashima05 that's a really good question.
appwrite offers a comprehensive BAAS solution that actually goes beyond what supabase provides. not only it includes user authentication with multiple Oauth providers, flexible database management, and serverless functions that support a lot of languages like js, php, etc.. making it highly versatile for different development needs.

Another intresting feature is the built-in messaging services for sending emails, sms, and push notifications, which supabase doesn’t have. If you compare both platforms, there are areas where Supabase might surpass Appwrite (like media storage with a built-in CDN and image optimization), but the key thing to understand is that Appwrite is platform-agnostic, so media storage optimization can be easily achieved through its APIs or external tools.

Just picture this: Appwrite provides an all-in-one backend solution that reduces dependencies on external services, making development faster, more scalable, and cost-effective. Another selling point is that Appwrite’s pricing for day-to-day developers is actually cheaper compared to Supabase, making it even more cost-effective. I'll leave the rest for students to research and explore! :)
