What is DigitalOcean?
PocketBase is an open-source backend framework written in Go that combines an embedded SQLite database, realtime subscriptions, user management, file storage, and an admin dashboard into a single executable. It solves the problem of setting up complex backend infrastructure by providing a self-contained, easy-to-deploy solution for building web and mobile applications.
Developers and small teams building prototypes, MVPs, or small to medium applications who need a backend with minimal setup and operational overhead.
Developers choose PocketBase for its simplicity, portability, and out-of-the-box features—it eliminates the need for separate database, authentication, and file storage services while offering realtime capabilities and an extensible architecture.
