"Empowering Flutter apps with Google Cloud Run" by Brett Morgan

Flutter is great for building client apps on Android, iOS, the Web, and soon Desktop as well. Wouldn't it be great to also use the same programming language Dart in the Cloud as well? In this talk we will walk through building a Flutter app that communicates with a Dart Cloud Run app using streaming gRPC to enable new styles of Flutter applications and user experiences.

Brett builds samples, codelabs, documentation and other fun things to encourage developers to use Flutter and Dart to the fullest. Hailing from Sydney, Australia where he has worked across the entire range of companies from Australia’s largest bank to secretive startups. His interests include all things technical, from mastering Sous Vide cooking in the kitchen to Web Assembly in the browser.
