Looking at the repo, I see this:

    Before using this application, make sure you have
    Appwrite server up and running
Then I looked ad Appwrites website for a while.

Since Appwrite probably did not write all the components (Like a database) themselfes, wouldn't the first thing one wants to know what components make Appwrite? I can not see that info anywhere on the website.

The project uses Appwrite as a backend. Appwrite solved problems like database or real-time. After you have the Appwrite backend ready, you can use CLI commands from README to prepare a project for this specific repo (project).

Regarding the question about components, not sure if I understand. I found out all about Appwrite and its services from documentation on appwrite.io

Components: For example, which database is Appwrite using?
Under the hood? I believe MariaDB, but thankfully, I never had to write a single SQL query. I used Appwrite SDK to do operations like db.getDocument, db.listDocuments, db.createDocument...
If you don't care for which components Appwrite uses, that means you bet on Appwrite being around forever?

Most technologies come and go. So when Appwrite goes away, your applications will fall apart?
