Appwrite 2.0 is now available for self-hosting.

This release includes:

- [Console IV](/blog/post/announcing-console-iv), the rebuilt Appwrite Console, with Appwrite Terminal and Appwrite Explorer built in
- [PostgreSQL as the default database](/blog/post/appwrite-2-0-postgres-by-default), with MariaDB and MongoDB still available in the installer
- [Hyperloop B](/blog/post/hyperloop-b), the coroutine engine that serves many requests from one process
- [Worker topologies](/blog/post/announcing-worker-topologies). The default combined topology runs a PostgreSQL instance on 16 containers instead of 33
- Usage metrics recorded in a bundled ClickHouse container
- Git deployments from GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea alongside GitHub

Head over to our [migration guide](/docs/advanced/self-hosting/production/updates) to upgrade your instance. To change topology during the upgrade, pass `--topology=combined` or `--topology=separate` to the upgrade command.
