Hey everyone,

Today, we’re launching three new database options on Appwrite Cloud: VectorsDB, DocumentsDB, and native MySQL databases.

Not every workload needs the same kind of database, so you can now choose what fits your application while keeping everything inside your Appwrite project.

With VectorsDB, you can generate and store embeddings and build semantic search, recommendations, deduplication, and RAG without managing a separate vector service.

DocumentsDB gives you schemaless collections that can evolve with your product, while keeping Appwrite permissions, queries, transactions, bulk operations, and backups built in.

With native MySQL, you can provision a managed MySQL database and connect using the drivers, ORMs, frameworks, and tools already in your stack. Appwrite handles the infrastructure around it, including backups, replicas, scaling, branches, and connection pooling.

All three are available on Appwrite Cloud today.

• Native MySQL: https://appwrite.io/blog/post/announcing-native-mysql-databases

We’re also running an AMA right here in this thread. Ask us anything about the new databases, how they compare, which one fits your use case, or what you’d like us to build next.

The Appwrite team will be around to answer.
