Frequently asked questions

Is PocketBase suitable for production apps?: Yes, PocketBase is production-ready for small to medium applications. It uses SQLite which handles significant read loads well. For high-write scenarios or apps needing horizontal scaling, consider PostgreSQL-based alternatives like Supabase.
How does PocketBase compare to Supabase?: PocketBase is a single Go binary with SQLite — extremely easy to deploy and maintain. Supabase uses PostgreSQL with more advanced features (row-level security, edge functions, real-time). PocketBase is ideal for simpler apps; Supabase for complex, data-heavy applications.
Does PocketBase support file storage?: Yes, PocketBase includes built-in file storage with support for local filesystem and S3-compatible storage. It handles file uploads, thumbnail generation for images, and serves files with proper caching headers.
Can I extend PocketBase with custom logic?: Yes, PocketBase can be used as a Go framework where you extend it with custom routes, hooks, and middleware. You can also use JavaScript hooks for simpler customizations without recompiling.
