It creates a REST API for your SQLite database with some extras.

#12Been following this for some time now and it's a real delight to use. SSE subscription is really nice.

It makes SQLite a service that provides you with an authenticated data access layer via a REST API. It is not a wrapper although it does use SQLite as its database.

#18Whats the method to maintain a git repo of JS and unit tests? I remember a team with Firebase copy pasting code from dev to prod and between "modules" within an env and making a ton of mistakes.

#19Is this really realtime?
From looking at the description it sounds more like subscriptions to events of data changes that are dispatched close to the data operation
How would realtime even work for a networked system going over tcp?

I appreciate their honesty. After a quick look I’d give another point to Pocketbase for it’s admin UI. The TrailBase one is pretty sloppy (on mobile at least), and looks like it’s using bootstrap.
Pocketbase has a sense of quality/care around it that seems missing.
