PocketBase
Free, open-source (MIT) backend in one file: database, auth, file storage, realtime.
Database
What you get
An open-source Go backend in a single executable: embedded SQLite database, realtime subscriptions, user auth, file storage and an admin dashboard.
How to get it
Download the executable from pocketbase.io.
What it requires
Your own server or a host to run it.
The catch
No hosted plan, so you run and back it up yourself. It scales only vertically on a single server.
