PocketBase
Open-source Go backend shipped as a single executable, with an embedded SQLite database, realtime subscriptions, authentication and a dashboard.
PocketBase is a backend that ships as a single Go executable with an embedded SQLite database. It provides realtime subscriptions, authentication, file storage, backups and a built-in dashboard, and clients reach the data through a REST-style API. Gani Georgiev maintains the project. PocketBase can run as a standalone application or be used as a Go framework, and the docs list JavaScript and Dart SDKs for client code.
Worth knowing
The going-to-production guide states that the project has no official Docker image.
