Hi everyone 👋
I'm building a website builder SaaS using Appwrite Cloud Functions
My architecture relies on users connecting their own custom domains via CNAME to my Appwrite Function, which renders their site.
I have 3 critical questions:
- Is there a hard limit on the number of custom domains I can add programmatically via the API? (I aim to support thousands of domains).
- Does Appwrite Cloud automatically provision and renew Let's Encrypt certificates for all these dynamic user domains, or is this feature intended only for a few static project domains?
- Is there an additional cost per custom domain?
I need to confirm this architecture is viable on Cloud before scaling, or if I should look into a reverse-proxy solution. Thanks!
Summary
- Building SaaS website builder with Appwrite Cloud Functions, using CNAME for user domains
- Questions about API limits for custom domains, SSL certificate provisioning, and additional costs per custom domain
- Confirming architecture viability before scaling: consider reverse-proxy solution for scalability if needed.
