Summary

In this chapter, we introduced an open-source backend as a service, Appwrite. We then looked at how Appwrite can help us to focus on building the important parts of an application and delegate repetitive tasks, such as creating a database API for remote data persistence and authentication. Then, we learned how to install Appwrite and use it with our application to authenticate our users, as well as load and save our application data persistently.

In the next chapter, we will learn all about another similar service, Firebase by Google, and integrate it into our application instead of Appwrite.
