PocketBase

SQLite backend, auth, and admin UI in one Go binary

Databases / SQLite · OSS/MIT · 60.9k

What's Good

MIT. Realtime, auth, file storage, and an admin UI from a single binary. Embed it as a Go library or run pocketbase serve. JS client talks REST. This is the backend you hand to a friend without a cloud bill.

The Catch

SQLite is the database. Concurrent writes and multi-region are not the product. There is no official hosted PocketBase Cloud. You run the binary, you own backups, you own the disk filling up.

Verdict

The one-binary BaaS. Perfect until you need Postgres.
