Accelerating MVPs with Flutter + PaaS: From Prototype to Production

In today's fast-paced world, entrepreneurs and developers are always in search of tools and services that allow them to build, test, and scale their ideas quickly. This talk will dive deep into the world of cross-platform application development with Flutter and the advantages of using Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers, such as Firebase, Supabase, and Amplify.

We will begin by discussing Flutter as a powerful, open-source framework for building high-quality, native-like applications on multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and the web.

Next, we will explore PaaS and its role in accelerating the development of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). This section will focus on the benefits of using PaaS providers, such as streamlined backend development, built-in scalability, and reduced infrastructure management overhead.

Finally, we will discuss the tradeoffs between different PaaS providers, including Firebase, Supabase, and Amplify, and how they integrate with Flutter, focusing on their pricing models, data storage options, authentication methods, and real-time capabilities.

Join us for this informative and engaging talk to learn how combining Flutter with PaaS providers can help you accelerate your MVP development, optimize your workflow, and bring your ideas to life more efficiently than ever before.
