Frequently asked questions

What databases does Appwrite use?: Appwrite uses MariaDB internally for its document database. You interact with it through Appwrite's document-based API with collections, documents, and queries — no SQL required. It supports relationships, indexes, and permissions at the document level.
Does Appwrite support real-time subscriptions?: Yes, Appwrite supports real-time data via WebSocket subscriptions. You can subscribe to changes on documents, files, users, and other resources. When data changes, connected clients receive updates instantly.
Can I use Appwrite with React Native or Flutter?: Yes, Appwrite provides official SDKs for Flutter, React Native, iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), and web frameworks. All SDKs support authentication, database, storage, and real-time features.
