About PocketBase

PocketBase is an open-source backend consisting of an embedded SQLite database with realtime subscriptions, built-in auth management, convenient file storage, and an intuitive Admin UI, all packaged into a single Go binary. It serves as a lightweight, lightning-fast alternative to complex Firebase or Supabase stacks.

Why PocketBase Stands Out

  • Zero Maintenance Overhead: Single portable binary with embedded database—no complex microservice networking required.
  • Sub-Millisecond Speed: Embedded SQLite and compiled Go runtime deliver blazing query execution.
  • Native Realtime Engine: Built-in Server-Sent Events (SSE) keep connected clients synchronized automatically.
  • Official SDK Ecosystem: First-party SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Dart/Flutter, and Python.

PocketBase Technologies

  • Go Runtime Engine: Compiled binary with extreme CPU efficiency and memory utilization under 30MB.
  • SQLite with WAL: High-performance embedded database engine tuned for concurrent read operations.
  • Svelte Admin Dashboard: Lightweight, responsive single-page web app for administrative tasks.
  • Server-Sent Events (SSE): HTTP-based streaming protocol for effortless realtime updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SQLite handle production traffic in PocketBase?
Yes! With SQLite WAL mode enabled on SiliconPin NVMe disks, PocketBase can comfortably handle thousands of concurrent requests and millions of rows with sub-millisecond response times.
How do I subscribe to realtime changes in my frontend?
Using the official PocketBase JavaScript or Dart SDK, simply call `pb.collection('posts').subscribe('*', function (e) { ... })`.
Can I write custom backend code in PocketBase?
Yes! PocketBase includes a built-in JS VM (pb_hooks) allowing you to write server-side JavaScript hooks for custom routes and event triggers.
How does file storage work?
Files are stored on your pod's high-speed persistent NVMe volume or can be offloaded to any S3-compatible object store (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO).
How are automated backups managed?
SiliconPin takes automated snapshot backups of your `pb_data` directory, guaranteeing full point-in-time recovery without corrupting active SQLite transactions.
