“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
