PocketBase is a free, open-source backend that bundles a database, user and file management, an admin dashboard, and a simple API into one program. It is for developers who want to build apps without running a separate server setup for each piece.

What we couldn't confirm2
- Whether PocketBase covers all services Firebase offers (e.g. hosting, push messaging, analytics) is not stated.
- The README says the project is under active development and not backward compatible before v1.0.0, which is not stated as a fit issue but is worth noting.
