Keep it
Nothing Appwrite Sites does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
It costs $300 a year.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, Next.js and Nuxt among them.
What this rests on. Appwrite Sites’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Appwrite Sites?
Appwrite Sites is the web hosting product inside the Appwrite platform. It deploys static, single-page and server-rendered frontends from Git, the CLI or a manual upload, with branch preview URLs, rollbacks, a CDN and TLS. Sites are not priced on their own: they are part of an Appwrite organization plan alongside auth, databases, storage and functions.
Worth knowing
- Sites are priced as part of an Appwrite organization, so usage counts against shared bandwidth, storage, execution and build limits.
- Free projects are paused after one week of inactivity and limited to 2 projects; Pro removes pausing.
- Pro shows a "From $25" price with pay-as-you-go overage, including $15 per 100 GB of extra bandwidth.
- The Git provider list shows GitHub and Origin, with GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea and others listed as coming soon.
Key features
- Deploy from Git
- GitHub and Origin are supported, with commits to the production branch deployed and other branches given preview links.
- Several deploy paths
- Sites can also be deployed with the Appwrite CLI in CI or by uploading a .tar.gz archive from the Console.
- Static and server-side rendering
- Static, single-page and server-rendered apps are supported, with 14 framework presets including Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit and Astro.
- Rollbacks and domains
- Instant rollbacks promote an earlier deployment without a rebuild, and custom domains, DNS and automatic TLS are managed in the Console.
- CDN and edge delivery
- Sites run on the Appwrite Network with a global CDN, DDoS protection and edge server-side rendering.
- Traffic and logs
- Requests, bandwidth, builds and compute are tracked, with request logs and SSR output in the Console.
