Summary

You love using Appwrite to power your backend, but when it's time to actually ship your website, you're bouncing between tools, platforms, and extra accounts. That ends today.Introducing Appwrite Sites.A new Appwrite product that lets you deploy and host your websites and web apps right inside Appwrite. No more juggling services.
