PocketBase

PocketBase is a revolutionary open-source backend that combines database, authentication, file storage, and real-time capabilities into a single executable file. Unlike traditional backend frameworks that require multiple services and complex configurations, PocketBase provides everything you need to build modern web and mobile applications with minimal setup. Built with Go and SQLite, it offers impressive performance and reliability while maintaining simplicity. The built-in admin dashboard provides a beautiful interface for managing your data, users, collections, and files without writing backend code. With automatic REST and realtime APIs for your data, PocketBase accelerates development from prototype to production.

Common Use Cases

Indie developers and startups use PocketBase to rapidly build and launch SaaS products, mobile apps, and web applications without managing complex backend infrastructure or paying for expensive BaaS platforms. Full-stack developers leverage PocketBase for side projects, MVPs, and client work, benefiting from automatic API generation and real-time features that would typically require weeks of backend development. Development teams use PocketBase as a prototyping tool to validate ideas quickly before committing to larger backend architectures, with the flexibility to migrate when needed. Mobile app developers rely on PocketBase for authentication, data sync, and file storage with built-in SDK support for JavaScript, Dart, and other languages, eliminating the need to build custom API endpoints.

Why deploy PocketBase on Hostinger VPS

Deploying PocketBase on a Hostinger VPS gives you complete control over your backend infrastructure without the recurring costs and limitations of cloud BaaS platforms. With dedicated resources, PocketBase can handle thousands of concurrent connections and millions of records while maintaining sub-millisecond query performance thanks to SQLite's efficiency. Hostinger VPS provides the stability and uptime needed for production applications, with the ability to scale vertically as your user base grows. Unlike serverless platforms with cold starts and execution time limits, your PocketBase instance on Hostinger VPS stays warm and responsive 24/7, providing consistent performance for your users. The single-file architecture makes backups and migrations simple, and you own all your data without vendor lock-in.
