  • Appwrite Cloud backups now faster

    Appwrite Cloud backups are now considerably faster, reducing wait times and improving reliability.

    What's changed

    We made key changes to the backup infrastructure by moving data reading operations inside the network, and implementing I/O optimizations for storage operations.

    Internal testing revealed notable time savings across database backups:

    • 3 minute backup → 1.5 minutes (2x faster)

    • 3.5 minute backup → 1.2 minutes (3x faster)

    • 6.7 minute backup → 2 minutes (3.4x faster)

    • 34.2 minute backup → 5.2 minutes (6.6x faster)

    Most databases showed at least a 2x reduction in backup time, with many achieving up to 7x faster backups.

    These optimizations improve the efficiency of data recovery and management. Your actual performance gains may vary depending on database size and structure.

  • Update to budget limits in Appwrite Cloud

    We've updated how budget limits work in Appwrite Cloud to provide more control over organization scaling.

    What's changed

    • Previously, setting the budget to 0 meant the budget was disabled (unlimited usage), and null was not supported.

    • Now, null explicitly disables the budget, while 0 is a valid budget limit, meaning the organization will not scale beyond its allocated resources.

    This change ensures clearer budget management and better control over scaling limits.

  • Introducing Appwrite MCP: A new way to manage your Appwrite project with AI

    Appwrite now supports AI-driven project interactions with the introduction of Appwrite MCP. This server enables AI assistants to query databases and trigger actions within Appwrite projects.

    With Appwrite MCP, AI assistants can:

    • Retrieve and analyze database records.

    • Access the User API

    • Perform actions directly on your Appwrite project.

    This feature opens up new possibilities for automation and AI workflows, making it easier to interact with your Appwrite projects.

    • Additional origin images will be available at $5 per 1,000 images

    What you should do

  • Usage metrics now include OPTIONS requests and 4XX responses

    We've improved our usage metrics system to now properly account for OPTIONS requests and 4XX responses. These request types were wrongly omitted previously.

    What's changed

    • OPTIONS requests: Pre-flight CORS requests are now included in your usage metrics

    • 4XX error responses: Client error responses are now counted in usage calculations

    This change gives you a more accurate view of your application's actual traffic pattern and helps us better scale our infrastructure to support your needs.

    No action is required from your side.
