# Appwrite
Appwrite is an end-to-end backend server for web, mobile, native, and backend apps. This guide provides context and instructions for AI coding agents working on the Appwrite codebase.
Self-hosted Backend-as-a-Service platform. Hybrid monolithic-microservice architecture built with PHP 8.3+ on Swoole, delivered as Docker containers.
## Project Overview
## Commands
Appwrite is a self-hosted Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform that provides developers with a set of APIs and tools to build secure, scalable applications. The project uses a hybrid monolithic-microservice architecture built with PHP, running on Swoole for high performance.
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `docker compose up -d --force-recreate --build` | Build and start all services |
| `docker compose exec appwrite test tests/e2e/Services/[Service]` | Run E2E tests for a service |
| `docker compose exec appwrite test tests/e2e/Services/[Service] --filter=[Method]` | Run a single test method |
| `docker compose exec appwrite test tests/unit/` | Run unit tests |
| `composer format` | Auto-format code (Pint, PSR-12) |
| `composer format <file>` | Format a specific file |
| `composer lint <file>` | Check formatting of a file |
| `composer analyze` | Static analysis (PHPStan level 3) |
| `composer check` | Same as `analyze` |
**Key Technologies:**
- **Backend:** PHP 8.3+, Swoole
- **Libraries:** Utopia PHP
- **Database:** MariaDB, Redis
- **Cache:** Redis
- **Queue:** Redis
- **Containers:** Docker
## Stack
## Development Commands
- PHP 8.3+, Swoole 6.x (async runtime, replaces PHP-FPM)
- Utopia PHP framework (HTTP routing, CLI, DI, queue)
- MongoDB (default), MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL (adapters via utopia-php/database)
- Redis (cache, queue, pub/sub)
- Docker + Traefik (reverse proxy)
- PHPUnit 12, Pint (PSR-12), PHPStan level 3
```bash
# Run Appwrite
docker compose up -d --force-recreate --build
## Project layout
# Run specific test
docker compose exec appwrite test /usr/src/code/tests/e2e/Services/[ServiceName] --filter=[FunctionName]

# Format code
composer format
## Module structure
Each module under `src/Appwrite/Platform/Modules/{Name}/` contains:
```
Module.php -- registers all services for the module
Services/Http.php -- registers HTTP endpoints
Services/Workers.php -- registers background workers
Services/Tasks.php -- registers CLI tasks
Http/{Service}/ -- endpoint actions (Create.php, Get.php, Update.php, Delete.php, XList.php)
Workers/ -- worker implementations
Tasks/ -- CLI task implementations
```
## Code Style Guidelines
HTTP endpoint nesting reflects the URL path. Sub-resources get subdirectories. For example, within the Functions module:
`Http/Deployments/Template/Create.php` -> `POST /v1/functions/:functionId/deployments/template`
- Follow [PSR-12](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/) coding standard
- Use PSR-4 autoloading
- Strict type declarations where applicable
- Comprehensive PHPDoc comments
File names in Http directories must only be `Get.php`, `Create.php`, `Update.php`, `Delete.php`, or `XList.php`. For non-CRUD operations, model the endpoint as a property update. For example, updating a team membership status lives at `Teams/Http/Memberships/Status/Update.php` (`PATCH /v1/teams/:teamId/memberships/:membershipId/status`).
### Naming Conventions
Register new modules in `src/Appwrite/Platform/Appwrite.php`. Detailed module guide: `src/Appwrite/Platform/AGENTS.md`.
#### `resourceType` Naming Rule
## Action pattern (HTTP endpoints)
When a collection has a combination of `resourceType`, `resourceId`, and/or `resourceInternalId`, the value of `resourceType` MUST always be **plural** - for example: `functions`, `sites`, `deployments`.
Examples:
```php
'resourceType' => 'functions'
'resourceType' => 'sites'
'resourceType' => 'deployments'
class Create extends Action
{
public static function getName(): string { return 'createTeam'; }
public function __construct()
{
$this
->setHttpMethod(Action::HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST)
->setHttpPath('/v1/teams')
->desc('Create team')
->groups(['api', 'teams'])
->label('event', 'teams.[teamId].create')
->label('scope', 'teams.write')
->param('teamId', '', new CustomId(), 'Team ID.')
->param('name', null, new Text(128), 'Team name.')
->inject('response')
->inject('dbForProject')
->inject('queueForEvents')
->callback($this->action(...));
}
public function action(
string $teamId,
string $name,
Response $response,
Database $dbForProject,
Event $queueForEvents,
): void {
// implementation
}
}
```
## Performance Patterns
Common injections: `$response`, `$request`, `$dbForProject`, `$dbForPlatform`, `$user`, `$project`, `$queueForEvents`, `$queueForMails`, `$queueForDeletes`.
### Document Update Optimization
## Conventions
When updating documents, always pass only the changed attributes as a sparse `Document` rather than the full document. This is more efficient because `updateDocument()` internally performs `array_merge($old, $new)`.
- PSR-12 formatting enforced by Pint. PSR-4 autoloading.
- `resourceType` values are always **plural**: `'functions'`, `'sites'`, `'deployments'`.
- When updating documents, pass only changed attributes as a sparse Document:
```php
// correct
$dbForProject->updateDocument('users', $user->getId(), new Document([
'name' => $name,
]));
// incorrect -- passing full document is inefficient
$user->setAttribute('name', $name);
$dbForProject->updateDocument('users', $user->getId(), $user);
```
Exceptions: migrations, `array_merge()` with `getArrayCopy()`, updates where nearly all attributes change, complex nested relationship logic requiring full document state.
- Avoid introducing dependencies outside the `utopia-php` ecosystem.
- Never hardcode credentials -- use environment variables.
- Code changes may require container restart. No central log location -- check relevant containers.
**Correct Pattern:**
```php
// Good: Pass only changed attributes directly
$user = $dbForProject->updateDocument('users', $user->getId(), new Document([
'name' => $name,
'email' => $email,
]));
```
## Cross-repo context
**Incorrect Pattern:**
```php
$user->setAttribute('name', $name);
$user->setAttribute('email', $email);
// Bad: Passing full document is inefficient
$user = $dbForProject->updateDocument('users', $user->getId(), $user);
```
**Exceptions:**
- Migration files (need full document updates by design)
- Cases already using `array_merge()` with `getArrayCopy()`
- Updates where almost all attributes of the document change at once (sparse update provides little benefit compared to passing the full document)
- Complex nested relationship logic where full document state is required
## Security Considerations
### Critical Security Practices
- **Never hardcode credentials** - Use environment variables
- **Rate limiting** - Respect abuse prevention mechanisms
## Dependencies
Avoid introducing new dependencies other than utopia-php.
## Adding new endpoints
When adding new endpoints, make sure to use modules and follow its patterns. Find instruction in [Modules AGENTS.md](src/Appwrite/Platform/AGENTS.md) file.
## Pull Request Guidelines
### Before Submitting
- Run `composer format`
- Update documentation if adding features
- Add/update tests for your changes
- Check that Docker build succeeds
`docs/specs/authentication.drawio.svg`
## Known Issues and Gotchas
- **Hot Reload:** Code changes require container restart in some cases
- **Logging:** There is no central place for logs, so when debugging, ensure to check all possibly relevant containers
Appwrite is the base server for `appwrite/cloud`. Changes to the Action pattern, module structure, DI system, or response models affect cloud. The `feat-dedicated-db` feature spans cloud, edge, and console.
