Appwrite Cloud is the hosted edition of the BSD-3-Clause Appwrite backend platform, sold in Free, Pro and Enterprise plans. Pages here cover running the same Appwrite stack in your own infrastructure.
What changes between Appwrite Cloud and Appwrite you run: plan limits, freezing and overage on Cloud, dedicated database compute, SOC 2 and BAA coverage, against Docker or Helm installs where you own databases, backups, upgrades and failover.
Moving a project from Appwrite Cloud to your own Appwrite with Appwrite Migrations, which transfer complete projects in either direction: preparing the target install, running the migration, re-pointing SDK endpoints and checking functions and storage.
Cost of ownership by component: Appwrite Cloud Pro plan fees, overages, dedicated database tiers, point-in-time recovery and HA replica pricing, against servers, managed PostgreSQL or operators and the people time to run Appwrite yourself.
Appwrite Cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified and can sign a BAA, with HIPAA listed on Enterprise. This page compares that with self-hosted Appwrite in your own audited environment and the safeguards, logs and backups you then own.
