For those who are not yet acquainted, [Appwrite](https://appwrite.io/) is an open-source back-end-as-a-service that abstracts all the complexity of building a modern application by providing you with a set of REST APIs, GraphQL APIs and Realtime APIs for your core back-end needs. Appwrite takes the heavy lifting for developers and handles user authentication and authorization, databases, file storage, cloud functions, webhooks, and more!

By making Appwrite available on the Akamai Marketplace, self-hosting a fully-featured backend for your web, mobile, or flutter app is even simpler and faster!

To help you get started, here is a step-by-step guide on creating and deploying Appwrite from the Akamai Marketplace.

## Step-by-step guide

Once the Linode is ready and running, give it a minute or two to complete the Appwrite installation. Finally, you can access your Appwrite console using the server's IP address to create a new account to manage your Appwrite instance. You can also assign domains and update other settings. Learn more about self-hosted Appwrite in our [self-hosting documentation](https://appwrite.io/docs/self-hosting).

That's it! You'll have your Appwrite instance running on an Akamai server in minutes. Using Appwrite on the Akamai cloud, you can rapidly prototype and deploy applications while maintaining full control over data, user privacy, and UX. Appwrite also supports many popular technologies, including Flutter, iOS, Android, and JavaScript.
