Where Appwrite fits into the ecosystem
I'm trying to wrap my head around where AppWrite fits and what it can do for me. I have experimented a little with Directus, so that's my point of reference. Upon skimming through the documentation, it appears like
- AppWrite is much more flexible in that it is intended to integrate with whatever development frameworks you're already using (in contrast to Directus which only integrates with various frontend frameworks)
- AppWrite is however much less flexible in terms of storage, in that Directus lets you choose from several databases and (as far as I can tell so far) AppWrite does not.
- AppWrite seems aimed at doing the boring and repetetive parts of development, while Directus seems aimed at being a sort of CMS + complete LowCode development tool all in one.
Am I at all close to being accurate with those statements? (At least as it relates to Appwrite?) Please tell me what I'm mising and what I got wrong.
TL;DR
- Developer is trying to understand where AppWrite fits compared to Directus.
- AppWrite is more flexible in integrating with existing development frameworks, while Directus mainly integrates with frontend frameworks.
- Directus offers more options in terms of storage databases compared to AppWrite.
- AppWrite focuses on automating repetitive development tasks, while Directus is more like a CMS and LowCode tool combined.
- Developer seeks confirmation and clarification on their understanding of AppWrite's purpose.
