I've been trying out Pocketbase on a side project idea. I'm super impressed!

Having worked for many years on Django projects, Pocketbase seems like a perfect fit for those small to medium sized projects for which you don't want to create and maintain a traditional backend for.

Happy to answer any questions.

Django has great GIS integration. How does Pocketbase compare here ? Also, can Pocketbase work with PostgreSQL or is it SQLite only ?

How easily can I migrate from an existing sqlite-based backend?

I’ve been using on a personal side project - but found that LLMs seem to be permanently confused over how to interact with pocketbase - to the point where I’ve even tried creating a Claude Skill to try and reduce the confusion.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
