Flutter

My Situation: I am both

1. Working on a startup/side hustle app, an interactive fitness journal that tracks and recommends exercise as well as makes creating meal plans trivial, in Flutter where the back-end will tentatively be written using Django REST framework as a REST API. For what it's worth Microsoft Azure will be my cloud of choice.

2. I'm also trying to transition away from an on-prem senior engineer to a Cloud Engineer.

Flutter is a firm choice for the FE however I'd really appreciate some guidance on which tools I should consider using to be in line with contemporary cloud languages and tools as well, if it is a good idea to suck it up and put Python on the back burner so I can learn JavaScript. I need things like ORMs, User Auth, etc.

Can anyone please advise?

I need to build a virtual trading website for a client. I'm considering Next.js for the frontend but can't decide whether to use FastAPI or Django as the backend.

I'll use PostgreSQL for the database. Also, there will be a Mobile version of the website using Flutter. It needs to be able to connect with the backend.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm planning a social media mobile app. I would like to prototype using a cross-platform native solution, leaving room for a future web client. In mobile dev, I'm most experienced with Flutter but I use Next.js for web projects. Since I'm not a designer, I think material 3 would be a fair design system and it's integrated into Flutter. React Native does not have material 3 yet but it would allow an easier web implementation (I have found flutter web to be too slow)

What do you suggest?

Hello,

I'm in the midst of reviewing an old CRUD SAAS I have running on Angular 7 with a MariaDB backend and Laravel PHP. Presently is hosted on a couple of Linode servers- and really feeling the weight, especially with the looming need to upgrade to A15 and meet the pace and scalability occurring (for context, the SAAS turns in over 24k USD monthly in subscriptions- so I have concerns around the impact of a new stack on existing clients). Additionally, I manage a Kotlin and Swift codebase for appdev.

I'm looking at moving towards Flutter for a singular codebase, and something serverless but still relational- like Supabase. In the past, I ran my own Auth services- but it was a ton of work to setup and maintain, so looking at using Firebase for Auth services (I know Supabase has Auth as well, but I wonder if it's as reliable and frequently maintained as Firebase?) Supabase has a FlutterSDK as well which makes things much simpler. Planning on maintaining microservices like Stripe etc for functional aspects.

I would love some insight from those who have done a tech stack transition, what should I be aware of- those who have produced in Flutter or a similar stack, what am I walking into without knowing?

Hi, I am making a website and mobile app for service providers of my region to share their profiles and make posts and interact with the clients, I am considering using Vue.js because it's simple and great for working in teams; node in the backend and Flutter and Dart in the mobile app, with MySQL database, do you guys think that its a solid stack for a scalable website and app?

I am interested in using a chat SDK for a community mobile Flutter app. I am between SendBird and Stream. I currently have 2,000 monthly active users and plan to have close to 5,000 active users chatting on the app. Has anyone used either and had good/bad experiences? Currently, there is no chat functionality, and we would like to have a 1-to-1 user chat, group chat, and large community chat capabilities.
