Pocketbase is just superb. I am using pocketbase together with scalajs and svelte. It saved me so much time setting up the basics and you won't regret it once the project grows. Anything works with pocketbase but go or any js based stack has an easy onboarding.

Do you eventually have to move off pocketbase? Looks like it only supports SQLite, and therefor obviously can only run a single server instance. How do you plan to migrate off it in the case that you have higher availability or traffic needs?

use a bigger server until the revenue is big enough to justify the migration.

Here are some suggestions if you ever need to scale.

Never happened to me. SQLite is faster than most people think. When you hit the limits of sqlite, chances are high that you can afford to use one of the scaling solutions mentioned above. Here are some benchmarks:

Thanks, but here I'm thinking more about availability than anything else. One single instance of a service doesn't seem great
