Cloud Migration

Can users of appwrite cloud migrate to preferred host in future and get direct access to database or it's vendor locked? @Steven @Eldad

Currently it's not possible. However they will introduce an official migration tool to migrate between instances, so, if you're using the same version as cloud, supposedly there should not be any problem and will be completely allowed migrating to cloud or backwards

okay, but can Developers migrate from other cloud providers to Appwrite cloud currently? @D5

Currently you can move from a VPS to another, probably without any major inconvenience. The difficulty will depend on your skills and knowledge about appwite, MariaDB and docker. In the case of Appwrite cloud, you will need to create a custom function to achieve that

Oooo, I see

I thought appwrite uses mongodb? Or Mariadb is also supported?

It uses mariadb by default. If I'm not wrong, mongodb is not supported at this moment

So, yes, It uses a SQL database, despite some YouTubers, bloggers, etc says it's not SQL, because of it's API

ouch

I don't see that as a disadvantage: https://www.wix.engineering/post/scaling-to-100m-mysql-is-a-better-nosql

Wix too uses SQL as NO-SQL

If you have more help with the migration, tell me. It's possible migrating by creating a custom script

woow

that means you're saying MySQL beats Nosql

It's too subjective, but in some cases, yes

Okay
