Bosbase is a completely open-source backend platform designed as a modern alternative to PocketBase and Supabase. it delivers a full-featured backend solution while embracing the AI era with AI-driven development tools and flexible extensibility.

Bosbase is built on the foundation of PocketBase — huge thanks to the PocketBase project for the inspiration! We extended and redesigned it from first principles to better support large-scale commercial deployments, PostgreSQL as the primary database (with pgvector for vector capabilities), zero-downtime hot-reload for complex business logic, WASM plugins, and AI-assisted operations.

• AI-driven development — Integrate AI to automate operations, generate code, implement logic, and bring your creative ideas to life faster.
• Complete backend in one place — Database (PostgreSQL + pgvector), Authentication, instant REST/GraphQL-like APIs, Realtime subscriptions, File Storage, Vector embeddings support, and WASM runtime for custom plugins.
• Hot-reload & zero-downtime updates — Implement and modify complex business logic without restarting the service.
• PostgreSQL backend — Scalable, production-ready with PostgreSQL support for enterprise-grade deployments and cost reduction.
• Extensible platform — Designed for AI-driven automated operations and custom extensions.
• Open source & commercial friendly — MIT licensed, fully open, supports self-hosting and large-scale use.

Bosbase helps enterprises and developers reduce backend costs while enabling powerful AI-native features.

Bosbase docs

1. Copy the SDK Docs Path to Your Project
   To keep documentation handy (e.g., for reference or offline use):

   • Clone or download the relevant SDK repository (e.g., js-sdk for JavaScript/TypeScript, python-sdk for Python, etc.) from https://github.com/orgs/bosbase/repositories.
   • Copy the docs/ folder (or README.md + any markdown docs) from the SDK repo into your project's docs/sdk/ directory (create it if needed).
   • Alternatively, link to the official docs: https://docs.bosbase.com/docs/sdk for the latest versions across all SDKs.

2. Configure Bosbase Connection
   Use the following credentials and endpoint for testing/demo purposes (from the official Bosbase try instance). For production, deploy your own Bosbase instance and update these values.

   • Superuser email: try@bosbase.com
   • Superuser password: bosbasepass
   • API endpoint (base URL): https://try.bosbase.com

   Note on API endpoint to AI: Bosbase supports AI-assisted development through its SDKs (see AI Development Guides in https://docs.bosbase.com/docs/sdk). The base API endpoint above handles all requests, including any AI-related features or integrations (no separate AI-specific endpoint is required; use the standard SDK methods for collections, auth, etc.). For AI-specific examples, refer to the guides in the docs (e.g., for JS SDK: https://docs.bosbase.com/docs/sdk/js-docs/ai-development-guide).

Bosbase would not exist without PocketBase — thank you for the amazing foundation!
