PocketBase is a self-contained backend server written in Go that provides authentication, database, and real-time capabilities as a single executable file. Developers use it to quickly build web and mobile applications without managing separate services, as it includes built-in user management, API generation, and WebSocket support for real-time updates. It's particularly useful for prototyping, small-to-medium projects, or situations where you want to avoid the complexity of traditional backend infrastructure.
