  • pocketbase

    Open Source realtime backend in 1 file

    • I've recently started using https://pocketbase.io/ . It's a pre-compiled backend. You navigate to the folder in your command line and type pocketbase.exe serve and your backend is ready. It has a JS SDK to use with all the CRUD operations, and authentication security build it. It's pretty amazing. There's also a free hosted solution called https://pockethost.io/ that you can use too. Definitely recommend those two.
