Appwrite
Appwrite is a backend platform that handles login, databases, file storage, serverless functions, messaging and realtime updates so app builders don't have to run those parts themselves. It is aimed at developers and the AI coding agents they use, and it can be used as a hosted cloud service or self-hosted with Docker.

What we couldn't confirm3
- The README does not say whether all Appwrite products (for example Sites, Firewall and MCP) are under the same license as the core project.
- The README does not state which Firebase products are covered, so the full replacement claim relies on the community list alone.
- The list description 'Build like a team of hundreds_' is not explained by the README.
