Postbase uses PostgreSQL and BetterAuth. No GUI yet, but it's in the plan and will be called Admin (Panel).

I had the same instinct of using SQLite, but then, after a bit of research, PostgreSQL seemed a better alternative for serious projects.

Postbase, in contrast to PocketBase, doesn’t seem ready for primetime : ” Brand new project launched 02 Nov 2025, this is boiler plate but working! Expect heavy changes coming every few hours until stable

Mostly all code is ChatGPT generated but manually tested by human.”

So does Pocketbase

"Warning

Please keep in mind that PocketBase is still under active development and therefore full backward compatibility is not guaranteed before reaching v1.0.0."

And by that description, I assume it's never going to be ready for primetime.

I made it for my own needs without knowing pocketbase existed and it solved my problems and thats all that matters.

Now I'm glad I didn't find out pkcketbase earlier otherwise I'd never have made Postbase.

Regarding if it will ever be ready for prime time, time will tell.

Looks very cool! Good luck!

Thank you
