I can’t believe this stack is actually good

[@TheHermitHacker]

This combo is amazing. I have my company's control panel build around SvelteKit + Pocketbase. I am using Pocketbase as a framework and extended it out.

[@bmdavis419]

Yea this is exactly where IMO it thrives

[@Frostbytedigital]

The extensibility is one of the best parts! Personally I have to have routes for raw sql queries but adding them with auth is so simple

[@good-dev-student]

Really? Can someone give us a repos as example?

[@TheHermitHacker]

@good-dev-student I cannot share my private code.

[@sonic8873]

Just search up pocketbade CRUD very easy u can build urself ​@@good-dev-student

[@akauppi2]

Appreciated how you describe the thinking behind tool selection. Very clear presentation - nothing to leave out, likely nothing to add. #perfect

[@andrewthomas3947]

90% of the websites has less than 10million users/visitor. Pockekbase is great in these traffic range

[@bmdavis419]

This is 100% true, I definitely should have clarified that by scale I did not mean traffic scale, but complexity/feature scale. The auth rules are just not scalable past a few tables IMO thats the real problem

[@bman007fl]

Oh, yes. I've been running this for a project that is a small containerized instance I can spin up quickly amongst multiple teams. It gets even better once you run the Go Extensible version, then you can really make it functional with back-end CRON jobs. Having too much fun with both of these.

[@bmdavis419]

Yea this is a huge thing I probably should have covered, using it from a go BE is so good

[@albertosalas285]

You can even embed your static front end files in pocketbase and get the back end to serve them. It only takes a couple of lines of codes amd in fact that is the approach taken to serve the admin dashboard

[@bmdavis419]

Ye I need to set this up

[@enkiimuto1041]

I really like how you talk about your decisions.

[@adel.dev.account]

Thanks... I would love to try this stack

For many years I loved dynamic typing with ruby, after more years with golang, typescript and pydantic it is hard to go back. I like your technical choices. PB can definitely scale for the majority of projects.

[@imho7992]

Please make a video on mobile app development with Sveltekit + CapacitorJS + Supabase! I think this will really be the most productive stack overtaking React Native in the future

[@TarzyRage]

You're AMAZING! - Would be nice tho, to see your spin on a SSR with pocketbase! ;) - I think you'll nail it!

[@jyjyjyj3]

I think Pocketbase will also be a great pair with Astro

[@bmdavis419]

That is actually a really good take, I think the two would be perfect for each other for like a blog site or something like that

[@jyjyjyj3]

@@bmdavis419 And I think it's also great from a learning perspective or trying out new front-end technologies. You don't have to think about your backend stuff and you can switch or mix different technologies on the front end thanks to astro islands

its the best tool to deliver fast, i have made my system using angular, flutter and pb, dish a product out quickly and use it as conversation starter for future customer easy to fail fast and iterate

[@hakuna_matata_hakuna]

pocketbase can probably meet your production worklods , almost 10k writes per second. the issue would be replicatng the sqlite instance . you can aso use the hooks for finer graned validations or even use it as a framework and use it as a go package

[@massy-3961]

PocketBase is extremely underrated. If they adopt Turso over SQLite scalability wouldn’t be as bad, not to mention you can extend it with Golang if you need more functionality.

[@bmdavis419]

Yea I don't think server scale is the problem, its more the complexity scale. Pocketbase collections are not good for complex data models I will die on that hill

[@williamclark4143]

Can we expect a Pocketbase from 0 to production similar to your Supabase 0 to prod? because I would love to see that as your supabase video was just amazing

[@zip2830]

Should go well with Nuxt as well right?

[@bmdavis419]

yep, any FE framework would work

[@jamesgphillips91]

I’ve been working with next and pocket base. Pb is awesome

[@skyhappy]

Thoughts on sveltekit vs nuxt?

[@BhideSvelte]

Sveltekit + Pocketbase is Good for Building Quick Stuff , no one actually noticed it .... Astro + Pocketbase tooo Good timing of video as always

What’s up with the rebrand?

I generally do too

[@iulikdev]

wtf it's pocketbase? Where you get this? You can't use a database like postgres?

[@pookiepats]

🤦‍♂throws it on a $4 VPS "but can it scale ?!". brotha you never really wanted to know. Most devs that talk like this know Go & SQLite have good if not great performance, they probably are even aware of WAL; what they're really lamenting is they don't know how easy it is to maintain because they haven't tried. Litestream baby.

[@ev3rybodygets177]

U just use the most restrictive policies and open it up as you need. I think ur over stating the complexity.

[@vormavius]

node in backend is never good, unless u plan to serve less than 1k customers. Anything beyond that is a completely joke, any benchmark can prove you are like 50x wrong.

[@drksbr]

Pocketbase os build on golang

[@josecontreras6981]

What would be a better choice ?

[@paulholsters7932]

Best stack: EdgeDB (complex modeling) node/express angular/ primeNG flutter vercel

[@benbowers3613]

EdgeDB goes hard. It unironically removes the need for an ORM. Flutter + angular is a weird flex tho lol

[@ivan.jeremic]

no and no

[@good-dev-student]

Angular lol 😂

[@hoeszyslak6989]

just use appsmith guys stop wasting time unless you are learning. but anotherbase is just bad and will eventually reach student loan levels of technical debt.
