[SOLVED] Invalid datetime on $createdAt & $updatedAt attributes
Am getting difficult configuring my local timezone when creating documents. Appwrite does not pick the correct time zone from system.
The documets saved are 1hour behind my localtime.
TL;DR
Title: Issue with Incorrect Timezone for $createdAt and $updatedAt attributes [SOLVED]
Messages: The user was having difficulty with the $createdAt and $updatedAt attributes being 1 hour behind their local time. It was suggested to use UTC for all server-side operations to maintain consistency in a distributed cluster. The user mentioned Appwrite not accurately picking the system's timezone when creating documents. The problem was eventually resolved.
Appwrite uses UTC.
Thanks @darShan
FYI, in general, it's a good idea to use UTC for everything server-side. this makes things standards in cases where you may have a distributed cluster for your backend
@Steven This is well understood.
