Build Appwrite-style backends with AI

Orbit generates apps with Appwrite-style backend features — auth, databases, storage, functions — on its provisioned Supabase backend, pre-secured with row-level security.

Appwrite AI Builder

An Appwrite-style request gets the full backend story on Orbit: user auth, a relational database, file storage, and serverless functions — provisioned as Supabase resources the platform manages for you.

In plain English

Appwrite bundles backend services — auth, database, storage — for app builders. Orbit delivers the same bundle through Supabase, pre-secured with row-level rules.

How it works in Orbit

Appwrite is an open-source backend platform with auth, database, storage, and functions. Orbit builds Appwrite-style apps on Supabase, which covers the same feature set with deeper RLS integration.

Feature-for-feature mapping

Appwrite's auth, collections, storage, and functions have direct Supabase counterparts. Orbit wires the client SDK and panels so your team's workflows stay similar.

  • Auth → Supabase Auth
  • Collections → Postgres tables
  • Storage → Storage buckets
  • Functions → edge functions

Open-source values, kept

If open-source portability is why you chose Appwrite, Supabase is in the same family: Postgres is open, migrations are plain SQL, and you're never locked to a proprietary store.

  • Plain SQL migrations
  • No proprietary data store
  • Self-hostable stack

Admin panel built in

Orbit's Cloud panel plays the role of Appwrite's console — browse data, manage auth, run migrations — so backend management is a click away.

  • Browse collections live
  • Run SQL and migrations
  • Manage auth and storage
  1. Describe the product

    Include the auth, data, and file features.

  2. Build on Supabase

    Orbit maps the Appwrite-style features over.

  3. Manage in Cloud

    Use the panel for data and auth.

  4. Keep it open

    Ship on an open, portable Postgres stack.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Ask two builders for an app with auth and file uploads. Compare the delivered permissions model, not just the sign-up screen.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

Honest stack note: Orbit standardizes your spec to a production React (Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind) stack with Supabase as the data layer. You get the product you asked for — verified, typed, and provisioned — built on the platform's supported stack rather than a framework Orbit can't verify end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

Does Orbit support Appwrite?

Orbit delivers Appwrite-style backend capabilities through provisioned Supabase — same feature set, schema-isolated and RLS-protected per app.

Can I use Appwrite directly with Orbit?

Orbit's managed backend is Supabase. If you need Appwrite specifically, the generated client code is standard enough to repoint, but the built-in provisioning and RLS are Supabase-native.

Does Orbit support open-source backend values?

Yes — the Appwrite-style spec maps to Supabase, an open-source Postgres platform you can self-host. You keep auth, database, storage, and an admin panel without being locked to a closed platform.
