Show HN: PocketBase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file

  Open Source realtime backend in 1 file

  

  "Collections" stores a single records table meta data (eg. name, fields, validators, etc.), so when you create a new collection a new related table will be created (see https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/3d07f0211dc747...).

  The admin UI just shows the collections through the web api (https://pocketbase.io/docs/api-collections/).

  I actually started with GORM, but its too complex and I ended up replacing it with a simpler query builder package (ozzo-dbx). While the query builder has abstraction for other databases, I'm not planning supporting them at the moment.

  Dolt – Git for Data

  

  Sweet. How tightly is this coupled to SQLite? I’d like to embed Dolt [0] instead, specifically for the Dolthub-backed collaboration model.

  Check out https://thin.dev/ :) It's similar, supports self-hosting and uses postgres. Quick demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jj19fpkd2c&t=3s

  Streaming replication for SQLite.

  This is cool. I think it would also be neat to have option to have Litestream [1] integration so that users can use this without any persistent volume.

  For anyone curious, another popular open-source backend as a service is AppWrite: https://appwrite.io/

  I've tried them out for some dummy projects and they seem pretty great, and they are continually iterating and pushing new features.

  PocketBase JavaScript SDK

  

  There is already a JavaScript SDK (https://github.com/pocketbase/js-sdk) that works both in the browser and node.

  Dart SDK (targeting mainly Flutter) is also on the way.

  Unfortunately I'm not very uptodate with Android (Kotlin) or iOS (Swift) development and therefore community contributions are more than welcomed.
