The Managed Platform for PocketBase Apps
Core is a PocketBase-native platform for developers who want AI-enabled hosting, workflows, and pages without running infrastructure. Now in limited alpha.
Alpha access is limited • Feedback required • Things may break
Everything you need to run a serious PocketBase instance
Hosting
Each app runs on its own managed instance with dedicated resources, security, and performance.
Workflows
Define backend hooks and routes directly on top of your PocketBase data visually or with code.
Pages
Create pages right inside of your PocketBase instance, no separate frontend required.
Backups
Backups are built into the platform for peace of mind and can be triggered manually or automatically.
FAQs
Here are answers to some questions we get a lot.
How do I get access?
Cloud Canal Core is in limited alpha. To get access, join our Discord server where we share the current access code and collect feedback.
Are there any collection or record limits?
Nope, at least not in the way you're probably thinking. Each instance comes with a certain amount of storage that is shared between your database, file storage, backup storage, and the application itself. You're free to use this storage as you see fit. Even our smallest plan will potentially allow for millions of records, though the actual number will depend on the structure of your data and whether or not you're storing file attachments locally.
Which plan should I choose?
If you aren't sure where to begin, then the answer is probably with the Good plan. Even as our smallest instance, it's very capable and you'll likely find that you won't have to upgrade for quite a while (if ever).
If you're migrating over an existing application, then choose the instance that is closest to the platform you're coming from.
Is there a free tier available?
Core is different from other platforms you may be used to. Each app built on core runs on its own dedicated virtual machine (VM). Instead, our plans come with a free trial for 7 days. A credit card is required to prevent abuse.
Is this production-ready?
Not yet. Core is actively evolving, and breaking changes may occur. That’s why access is limited during alpha.
Can I use Core without coding knowledge?
Absolutely! Everything in Core comes with a visual interface. As Core continues to grow, we'll add new features that will allow you to expand the capabilities of your web app by either continuing to use that no-code interface or by writing code directly. The choice is yours.
What if I need more storage?
Each of our plans comes with a certain amount of storage included. We make it easy to expand this amount by letting you hook up your own cloud storage (using AWS S3). In fact, we highly recommend that you do. By storing your files and backups in S3, the entirety of your instance storage can be used by the database.
If you aren't familiar with S3, not to worry. Setting up a "bucket" is straightforward and there are plenty of guides online on how to do it.
I have more questions.
We want to make sure you're set up for success. If you need help getting started or want to learn more, you can shoot us an email.
