It seems to me that redbean is a much simpler, vastly lighter one-file web server + sqlite DB: https://redbean.dev/ As a bonus, the same file runs on basically any OS without any dependencies on the local system, not even libc.
It plus SvelteKit has been a dream to get up and running using the JS SDK.
Cool homepage but I don't even understand what this thing does.
Personally, I think the website is clear and concise. Doesn't even have any marketing filler which is a huge plus in my corner.
Scouring the documentation there's mention of a way to use PocketBase without JavaScript or Dart. Are they the only methods?
What are realistic bottlenecks to expect from a backend like this? Eg. a web app serving users that write posts simultaneously
More than one server. Sqlite should be thread safe and simple services can scale to thousands of parallal users. If you are OK with some downtime every 6 months when server goes down it will scale well. Deploy/ rollback will be an effort.

You could replicate PocketBase in Readbean, but you would have to implement from scratch: - resources with CRUD API and real time subscriptions - admin UI - authz & authn system

It seems to be Golang based from what I can tell? And I'm guessing it either exposes a HTTP or WebSocket API, both which are usable from any language.
