  Announcing Timestamp Overrides: Accurate timelines for production workloads

  We’re excited to announce one more powerful addition to Appwrite Databases: Timestamp Overrides

  In many data workflows, imported records automatically take on the date and time they are added to the new system. While fine for some cases, this can cause issues when migrating data or integrating systems where original timestamps matter for accurate audit trails, analytics, and chronological order.

  With Timestamp Overrides, you can manually set $createdAt and $updatedAtwhen importing or creating documents, ensuring your data history stays true from the start.

  Available on Cloud and will soon be coming to Self-Hosted in the next release.

  Announcing Appwrite's new pricing plans

  We are updating Appwrite’s pricing as part of Appwrite Cloud’s move from beta to General Availability. For an extended period, Appwrite Cloud beta remained free for all users. As of January 2024, we introduced pricing for beta. Today, we are introducing a new base price and an updated pricing model that aligns with developer needs and industry standards. This will include pricing for Appwrite Sites and Messaging.

  Apwrite’s new pricing

  This new structure and pricing are designed to be more predictable and better aligned with how teams actually use Appwrite. Below is a brief overview of the pricing changes, which we elaborate on in the official announcement.

  Starting September 1st, 2025, the following pricing changes will go into effect:

  • The base price for Pro will go from $15 to $25 per month

  • The per-seat pricing model is moving to a per-project pricing model

  • Resources will be per project instead of per organization, and we will be giving you more resources per project

  • The bandwidth resources on Pro and Scale will increase by +500%, from 300GB to 2TB per month per project

  • The additional bandwidth price has decreased by 62%, from $40 per 100GB to $15 per 100GB

  • The price for GB hours has decreased by 67%, from $0.18 per GB hour to $0.06 per GB hour

  • The additional storage price has decreased by 6.7%, from $3 per 100GB to $2.8 per 100GB

  • Appwrite Messaging and Sites now have resource limits on Free, Pro, and Scale plans

  Appwrite Cloud is now Generally Available

  Appwrite Cloud was designed to make it easier to build with Appwrite because we know self-hosting is not for everyone.

  Today, Appwrite Cloud is powering over 300,000 projects, and we are both proud and excited to announce its transition to general availability.

  Announcing Atomic numeric operations: Safe, server-side increments and decrements

  Introducing: Atomic numeric operations

  A new Database feature that lets you increment or decrement numeric fields directly on the server, without fetching the full document. It’s fast, safe, bandwidth-efficient, and concurrency-friendly.

  Before this feature, updating a number meant fetching the entire document, modifying it on the client, and writing it back, a process prone to race conditions, unnecessary bandwidth use, and extra logic to handle edge cases.

  With Atomic numeric operations, you simply send a delta (like +1 or -3), and Appwrite applies the update atomically on the server. No full document reads, no conflicts, no custom logic. Just consistent, permission-aware updates that work reliably under load.

  This feature is now live for both Appwrite Cloud and Self-Hosted environments.

  Console and deployment improvements for smoother workflows

  We've shipped several improvements to fix broken flows and clean up the developer experience across Sites, Functions, and the Appwrite Console.

  What's new

  • When creating Sites or Functions, the default Git branch now auto-suggests your GitHub default branch (not the first one).

  • Site screenshots now use the Storage API preview route.

  • The Git deployment modal now auto-fills your production branch.

  • Emails now include preview text for better notification previews.

  • Domain validation status now updates in realtime.

  Fixes

  • No more double Git deployments.

  • Git-related issues no longer cause build failures.

  • Site settings now save correctly even if the first deployment fails.

  • Deployment activation now reflects properly in realtime.

  • DB filters now work as expected.

  • Broken links to API keys path are now fixed.

  • Console no longer adds a null header when executing functions.

  • Fixed a bug where Console project URLs showed "undefined" in self-hosted environments.

  • Multiple UI alignment and responsiveness issues resolved.

  These improvements are now live on Appwrite Cloud, and we'd love to hear about your experience with them.
