We asked members of the JavaScript community to share their “pick of the year”

My 2023 Pick: Pocketbase

My pick of the year is the Pocketbase project - an open-source SQLite powered backend. Its JavaScript SDK gives web developers everything needed to build a serious application, and amazingly, can be deployed as a single binary to any $5 server.
