Interesting! I haven't made anything serious yet with the PocketBase (mostly due to lack of time & not anything to do with PB).

I'm curious to know what kind of projects did you build using PB and how was your development experience?

Bits and pieces. A bedtime tracking app for my kid, a microblog, a TikTok clone, a budget app, a text-to-speech app with translation functionality…

Development experience was outstanding. I primarily use SvelteKit and integrate PocketBase for SSR, so I use the SDK almost exclusively and it’s fantastic. Everything just works exactly the way you would expect.

I can’t imagine anything easier to implement, and as yet, I haven’t found any major gaps in what I can do with it, normally with OOB functionality.

Development velocity is very high and the developer is super responsive on GitHub. The documentation is very good and kept up to date pretty well.

My only real concern is that the project has a pretty poor bus factor, otherwise, I’m very impressed.

One of my production projects with around 20,000 customers and 400k arr runs on Pocketbase with zero issues. I cannot recommend it enough.

Is vertical scaling enough/do you have any concerns for the future?
