i dont understand why appwrite cloud is free. Is there any cap on database storage, bandwidth or number of monthly active users. Considering alternatives like supabase charge $25 for pro tier although having a free tier with limited resources. Can someone please explain me this.

TL;DR
The Appwrite cloud is currently free because it is in a public beta period. During this time, the Appwrite team is gathering feedback and learning about usage patterns to improve their paid version. While it is free now, when it exits the beta phase, it will have both free and paid tiers. The specific limits on database storage, bandwidth, and monthly active users are not mentioned in the thread. However, Appwrite being an open source project allows users to move it to their own server and infrastructure if they don't like the new pricing.

In this public beta time period the Appwrite team can learn a lot about the usages and day to day use with their product so they can serve much more batter paid version

Even if you're planning to use Appwrite for a very large project always remember that Appwrite is still an open source project. So in case you don't like the new pricing you can - require some work - move it to your own server and infrastructure.
