What are the backends for storage and database and how easy would it be to change or scale ? A quick search didn’t lead to any architecture information or tech stack details

Looks like MySQL only: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/app/db/SQL/...

And it uses the PHP Utopia MVC framework.

I think most people who want to use this should have scale at the bottom of their priority list. I look at this as more a tool to cut time to market. Getting your product to actual users is the most important thing when your'e starting out.
demarq, I agree with you in 100% and would only add that Appwrite was designed for scale. But as you mentioned, Appwrite out-of-the-box setup should be more than enough for any product at the start of its way.
