Appwrite Go

The official Go SDK for Appwrite's backend-as-a-service. It covers user management, database operations with the newer TablesDB API, file storage, teams, and serverless functions. The SDK uses a functional options pattern for configuration and splits services into separate packages. One thing to note: it explicitly prefers the TablesDB class over the deprecated Databases class, and it's opinionated about using explicit string column types like varchar, text, and mediumtext instead of the legacy string type. The documentation includes practical details like row size limits and when to use inline versus off-page storage. Good for building Go backends that need auth, data persistence, and file handling without rolling your own infrastructure.
