One check for anyone deploying by git pull onto a server: visit yoursite.com/.git/HEAD

Text like "ref: refs/heads/main" means your .git folder is public, and so is every commit in it, deleted secrets included.

An indie game's backend is often small: accounts, cloud saves, a leaderboard. PocketBase (61.6k★, MIT) covers auth, file storage and realtime in one Go binary on SQLite. The ceiling: single-node, not for heavy write concurrency.
