Guides, tutorials, and deep dives on shipping full-stack apps.
One Step to Deploy from GitHub Actions
An official action and pbc ci init replace the 40-line hand-written workflow — and close a real credential leak along the way.

The Free plan now has an API rate limit (and why that's good news)
Free PocketBase instances can serve 5000 API requests per hour. Here's what that means for your project, how the limit behaves, and how to lift it.

Custom Domains for PocketBase: Bring Your Own URL
Serve your PocketBase instance from a domain you own — with automatic HTTPS, one DNS check, and full CLI support. The feature I've been asked for more than any other.

pbc locations: Know Where a Deploy Can Land
The new CLI command lists the regions the platform can actually deploy to for your plan — and --location now refuses a region before your deploy fails on it.
· Tom
One Deploy Command for Any Directory
pbc deploy reads the directory you're standing in, works out whether it's a PocketBase instance, a frontend, or a backend, and runs that deploy — same flags, same output, one less decision.

Introducing status.pocketbasecloud.com
A public status page with 90 days of uptime history and an incident feed — built to keep telling the truth even when PocketBase Cloud itself is down.
· Tom
Ship Schema Migrations to a Running PocketBase Instance
pb_migrations and pb_public now install on an instance that already exists — migrations merge, pb_public is replaced, and the instance restarts only when the schema changed.
· Tom
Choose Which Compute Your Deployment Lands On
Pro and organization deploys now pick a compute by name — in the portal, or with the CLI's --compute flag. How placement works, and why a redeploy never moves your app.

Usage & Performance Metrics for Every PocketBase Instance
Every instance, backend and frontend now has a Usage & performance page — disk usage, requests over time, median and p95 response times, and container CPU and memory.

Organizations: Team Collaboration on PocketBase Cloud
Share projects with your team, keep billing and deletion under the owner's control, and see who created what. A tour of my favorite feature we've built.

Why PocketBase is So Reliable
Fewer moving parts, a database with aviation-grade testing, and no network between app and data. The architecture behind PocketBase's uptime.
