Database relationships are out of beta

Database relationships in Appwrite are graduating from experimental to production-ready. After a year of performance, ergonomics, and capability improvements, they are now a first-class way to model connected data.

What's shipped over the past year

• Opt-in relationship loading: Related rows are no longer pulled in automatically, you select exactly which relationships to load using query selection. Smaller payloads, faster responses.
• Filter queries on relationships: Filter across related data using dot notation, like Query.equal('author.name', ['Jake']). All comparison operators are supported, including equal, notEqual, greaterThan, lessThan, between, contains, and spatial queries.
• 12-18x faster relationship operations: A full internal overhaul made every relationship read, write, and join dramatically faster, with no configuration changes required.
• CSV export support: Relationship fields export cleanly as IDs from the Console.
