This week was packed on the Appwrite blog. We shipped major product announcements, covered important AI and developer ecosystem updates, and published new deep dives across backend infrastructure, Auth, Databases, storage, runtime support, AI coding workflows, and modern app development.
Here’s everything that went live this week.
Major product announcements
Faster Appwrite Storage uploads with parallel chunks
We introduced parallel chunk uploads for Appwrite Storage, significantly improving large file upload performance. In benchmark tests, uploads saw improvements of up to 7x faster compared to the previous sequential approach. This update helps reduce upload bottlenecks for modern apps handling large media and datasets.
