From the PocketBase Cloud team.
Guides, tutorials, and deep dives on shipping full-stack apps.
pocketbaseOrganize Your PocketBase Hooks With Folders and Real Templates
pb_hooks now accepts .html, .css, .md, and a dozen other text formats, organized in subdirectories — not just flat .pb.js and .json files.
featuresYour PocketBase admin dashboard, now embedded in the portal
Manage collections, records, and settings without leaving PocketBase Cloud — a collapsible, fullscreen-capable embed of the instance's own admin dashboard.
cliKeep Several PocketBase Admin Logins at Once
pbc now saves as many instance logins as you want — several instances, or several superusers on one — and switches between them with --profile.
templatesStart from a working app: PocketBase Cloud templates
Two full-stack starters you can clone and deploy — a React storefront and an Astro SaaS site — with the database, frontend, and deploy steps ready to run.
billingYearly billing is here — two months free
Starter and Pro can now be billed yearly at two months free. Here's how it works, what carries over, and the one thing that's still a manual switch.
cliA Cleaner pbc self upgrade, and the End of npm Releases
The upgrade command now narrates each step as it runs, npm installs are deprecated in favor of a single install script, and an outdated CLI tells you plainly when it needs an upgrade.
reliabilityCSV Import and Export Just Got More Reliable
A Windows-exported CSV no longer corrupts its last column on import, exports no longer fail to upload for reasons that have nothing to do with your data, and a wide CSV no longer reports itself as empty.
