But people build apps on top of it and deploy it to the cloud, too, right? Does it then compete with stuff like AWS RDS?

I think it's more like a self-hosted Firebase - you run it on a server (with a disk drive that can persist the data) to get a hosted API for your apps to talk to.

  • Hmm... kind of. It's pretty substantially different from Firebase which is defacto NoSQL versus Pocketbase which uses SQL.

    Given that it's based on SQLite I'd be very interested to know how well this would work as a true backend for a multiuser site that allows users to interact/post/etc.
