Find PocketBase Developer Leads on GitHub

Why PocketBase Developers Are High-Intent Leads

PocketBase is a self-hosted, single-binary backend-as-a-service written in Go. Developers use it to launch MVPs fast — it ships with a REST API, real-time subscriptions, built-in auth, file storage, and an admin UI in a single executable. With over 40k GitHub stars, it attracts indie hackers, startup founders, and full-stack developers who are actively evaluating backend infrastructure choices.

Developers starring or contributing to pocketbase/pocketbase are not casual browsers. They are evaluating a BaaS they plan to ship. That is a strong buying signal for auth tools, deployment platforms, monitoring, database extensions, and developer SaaS of all kinds.
