PocketBase is a zero-dependency backend shipped as one executable. It bundles a SQLite database, user authentication, file storage, an admin UI and a REST API — ideal for small projects and internal tools.

Key Features

  • Single binary: download, run, done.
  • Embedded SQLite with realtime subscriptions.
  • Admin dashboard for schema and data management.
  • Auth providers: email/password, OAuth2 and more.
  • File storage with on-the-fly image resizing.
  • Record and JS hooks for server-side logic.

PocketBase is free and open source under the MIT license.
