   Appwrite is awesome, free and open-source!

   I've use it instead of Firebase on a 15$ DigitalOcean droplet and saved around ~$150 a month. Managing my own infra does take some extra time, but definitely worth it. The APIs and SDK are also surprisingly much easier to consume than Firebase. Waiting for the cloud version.

   🏁 Competitors: Firebase

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective|Open-source|Great user experience|Super simple|Self hosted

   👎 Cons:    Self hosted

  I've been looking at Google Secret Manager which sounds promising but I've not been able to find any examples or tutorials that help with the actual practical details of best practice or getting this working.
