#30DaysofAppwrite : Pilot
Published: 2021-05-01 12:15:15

Let's face it: building modern apps is hard - building secure, performant, and scalable apps is even harder. We're building [Appwrite](https://appwrite.io) to make app development easier and more fun, and we invite you to join us for `#30DaysofAppwrite`, a month-long event where we all learn and build with Appwrite together. 

> TL;DR: We'll be showing off what Appwrite can do in a series of blog posts. If you build with us, we have some cool prizes to give to the best projects at the end.

## Appwhat?

Appwrite is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) that provides developers with everything they need to build secure, modern apps fast. Packaged as a set of Docker microservices, Appwrite gives devs a suite of **easy-to-use** APIs, SDKs, tools, and an admin UI to *build features*, not write boilerplate. Local development is as easy as `docker run`.

We've designed Appwrite to be both cross-platform and technology-agnostic, meaning it can run on any operating system, coding language, framework, or platform. Use as much or as little of Appwrite as you need, where you need it - we have [SDKs available](https://appwrite.io/docs/sdks) in multiple programming languages, all generated from the same [source code](https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-generator). 

With introductions out of the way, onto the main event.

## #30DaysofAppwrite

Over the next 30 days, we're bringing the entire team together to build a [Medium.com](https://medium.com) clone with Svelte.js and Appwrite. Every day, we'll post a blog that takes a deeper look into the different services needed for our demo blog: user authentication, data storage, file uploads, cloud functions, and more! A detailed timeline of the month-long event can be found [on our website](https://30days.appwrite.io).

> We've built demo Appwrite-powered apps using many popular web frameworks - check out the growing list on [our awesome GitHub repository](https://github.com/appwrite/awesome-appwrite#showcase-built-with-appwrite-) to get started.

By the end of the month, we will have created a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on building apps in Appwrite (and a blog site, too). For those building apps alongside us during #30DaysofAppwrite, we want to see your progress! Share your work with us on Twitter, Dev.to, or LinkedIn with the hashtag `#30DaysofAppwrite` or in the `30DaysofAppwrite` channel on [Discord](https://appwrite.io/discord).
