With the recent announcement of Firebase shutting down Dynamic Links, our team at Appwrite want to ensure a smooth transition for all developers.

Here’s everything you need to know about Appwrite’s upcoming alternative for Dynamic Links.

What are dynamic links?

Dynamic Links are links that intelligently route users to different destinations based on their operating system, browser, or other user characteristics. It's a flexible solution that enhances user experience and engagement.

What does Appwrite Dynamic Links offer?

Appwrite Dynamic Links provide a wide range of features to enhance your app's capabilities: 1. Make multiple dynamic links on the same domain for different paths. 2. Enable deep linking into your application, allowing users to open your app on specific screens with just a bit of code. 3. Seamlessly integrate custom domains or use the convenient free Appwrite subdomain option.

In the next few weeks we plans to extend this solution even farther: 1. Ability to redirect users based on their geographical location. 2. Integration with your favorite analytics apps for comprehensive insights. 3. More configuration options

Thank you 🫶

Been actively following the Appwrite journey since 0.4. Glad to see Appwrite is finally stable!

yeap exactly... CMS's are meant for a different audience altogether

I had a couple of side projects running on Firebase until I discovered the open source alternatives. I can self-host on a $10 droplet which makes the costs very predictable

Yes, official support is in the pipeline. There have been some community helm charts in the past ( which might need to be updated )

yes it would be 80 and 443 for http traffic. And the ports that swarm requires for internal communications https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/#open-pr...

Exactly..

Not necessarily. You can be an alternative to an existing solution in many different ways.

Not really. Appwrite focuses more on simplicity and a seamless developer experience and the Firebase API is not one of them
