Could you build this?

Partial A PocketBase-style backend with REST, auth, realtime, and an admin UI is vibe-codeable at prototype level, but production-grade security, realtime at scale, and Postgres support need serious backend and systems expertise.

What it would actually take: Core stack would be a Go or Rust single binary with an embedded SQLite layer, a generic collections schema engine, and a WebSocket or SSE realtime channel. The hard parts are authorization rules that cannot be bypassed, safe migrations, and correct concurrency for realtime and queues. Building it well requires experience with database internals and security review, not just AI-generated code.
