A PDS, or Personal Data Server, is kind of the core thing behind atproto. The idea is that it's a server that stores all your atproto data and cryptographic keys. Most people just use Bluesky's PDS right now, but this is probably the most commonly self-hosted part

Manton Reece - Introducing the Micro.blog PDS
I’ve started rolling out an AT Protocol PDS — personal data server — for new Micro.blog users. In the Bluesky world, a PDS is what stores your posts, follows, photos, and other data from apps.
