Appwrite Full-Stack MVP Stack
For builders who want backend primitives without stitching together five services. Auth, database, storage, and functions come from Appwrite while the frontend stays in a normal Next.js app.
End-to-end TypeScript from database schema to UI component — no REST boilerplate, no duplicated types, no schema drift between layers. The stack favored by TypeScript-first teams who hate runtime surprises.
Workflow stack
The order matters. Start at the top, read down the sequence, and open any step when you want the note behind it.
Type-safe API layer
Exposes backend procedures as fully typed functions the frontend calls directly — no OpenAPI schema, no code generation, no manual type syncing between client and server.
Open tool profileDatabase ORM
Lightweight, SQL-first ORM with a tiny bundle footprint — ideal for edge runtimes and serverless where Prisma's query engine adds significant overhead.
Open tool profileServerless Postgres
Managed PostgreSQL that scales to zero between requests and handles connection spikes without a separate pooler — built for serverless and edge environments.
Open tool profileSelf-hosted OAuth
Free, open-source authentication supporting 70+ OAuth providers with no vendor lock-in — stores sessions in your own database using Drizzle adapters.
Open tool profileStyling

I run five side projects on one DigitalOcean Droplet for $24 a month. This stack handles 80k monthly visitors combined and has taught me more about infrastructure than years of managed platforms ever did.
