And about flexibilty, perhaps, thereby. This found the way into my attention, which I think you should know about. It promises more than it serves, currently, but the idea is nicely visualized. For performance reasons, IPFS clearly is not a solution, and the Chain isn't as free/gasless as it proclaims. Where i am going here, is turning Appwrite BaaS into a sort of a ghost protocol defining opionated APIs (Auth, Storage, Functions, maybe Payment Providers, Crypto and web3 in the SDK in the future) and turning all projects based on Appwrite into Backendless dApps. No more need for a centralized, but self-hosted, MariaDB…
