Appwrite Cloud & Self-host Integration

[Tom Glod]

Hello Y'all...

A couple of years ago I found the perfect solution for all my cloud hosting
needs for now, and seemingly into the future.
https://appwrite.io
I am currently using appwrite cloud..... for $15 a month to have scalable
cloud infrastructure.  They also have a free tier.
The best part is however, that whenever I am ready, I migrate my cloud data
to self hosted Appwrite.

Appwrite is fully open source and continuously improved by a funded team.
The featureset is very impressive

I can confirm that appwrite rest api works great with livecode.
serverless functions can take care of server side functions that you don't
want to do through client.
It has everything one needs to host an any app in the cloud.

So far, I have integrated:

   - Authentication, email / password.
   - creating a session
   - CRUD for database
   - and object storage upload (currently only small files upload, needs a
   little work.)
   - I also have some php serverless functions (which appwrite does as
   well)  that help in server side tasks, like creating a wordpress user when
   a new appwrite user is created


If anyone is worried about livecode's cloud pricing, remember that you
don't actually have to use it.
I will share my appwrite integration with anyone upon request, and
eventually when I have more time I will put it out there on github.
I might put it under GPL, so that if someone adds another function to the
integration, the library can grow.
I have not generalized the handlers yet for general use, but I can do it
Just reach out if you have need of it.

Thanks, Tom
