An entire backend in a single file.

Most backends are three services and a migration tool before you have written a line of your app. PocketBase is one binary with a database, authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions, and an admin UI already inside it. It starts in milliseconds and it barely uses memory.

PocketBase is an open-source backend in a single file. Realtime database, authentication, file storage, and an admin dashboard, with SDKs to drop straight into your app.

Questions

Is SQLite enough?

For the overwhelming majority of applications, comfortably. PocketBase handles thousands of concurrent connections on modest hardware.

Where do I log in?

At /_/ on your instance. We put the correct link in your dashboard so you do not land on a 404.

Can I back it up?

Yes. PocketBase has built-in backups, and we snapshot the volume nightly on top of that.
