installHosted Appwrite Cloud signup, or the official Docker installer/Compose stack
dataSelf-hosted Appwrite stores application records in MariaDB, queues and cache in Redis, and uploaded files in Docker volumes or a configured object-storage adapter; functions and build artifacts are managed by the Appwrite worker/executor services. Appwrite Cloud stores the equivalent data in Appwrite's infrastructure.
setupThe installer is one command, but it expands into a large multi-container platform; production use still needs a domain, TLS, SMTP, storage, backups, and careful version upgrades.

the catchAppwrite covers auth, data, files, functions, and realtime, but it lacks Firebase's mature offline mobile SDKs, global managed scale, Analytics, Crashlytics, Messaging, and Google ecosystem.

A similarly complete backend console with auth, data, files, realtime, and functions; the database is not Postgres.
the catchAppwrite is similarly complete but its document database and APIs are not PostgreSQL, so existing SQL, extensions, migrations, row-level security, and database tooling do not transfer.
