But you can create a dedicated DB cluster and Redis cache in AWS in 3 clicks. And then you have point in time recovery, replication, automatic failover, and guaranteed uptime. What happens when it's 3 AM and your Pocketbase server crashes?

Supabase uses Postgres. I don't see a strong reason to prefer Pocketbase to Supabase for commercial applications. Supabase has a generous free tier and you can scale or self-host.

Yes, you can add an enormous amount of complexity to your app in 3 clicks. Should you? The proverbial night crashes are, in my experience, often much better problem to have than the complexity and cost of AWS.
