## ⚒️ What we’re currently working on
* We hear your requests for more granular event triggers for the Functions service. We’re working to refine event triggers so your Cloud Functions can listen to specific events.
* We resumed work on GraphQL endpoints to query and manipulate Appwrite resources. 
* New Cloud Functions runtimes for C++, C#, Java, and Kotlin.
