Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
Hacker News users discussed PocketBase, an open-source realtime backend packaged as a single file, in a thread that drew 671 points and 204 comments. Supporters said they run it in several production apps and found it stable, extensible and light enough for a Raspberry Pi 5, arguing that a single binary is simpler to operate than a distributed setup. Skeptics worried that the project relies on one maintainer, and pointed to SQLite's lack of a decimal type, weaker high availability and trouble once requirements exceed what the system supports.
I see Pocketbase, I upvote. Using it in a few production apps and it's been a very solid experience.
