Dart on the backend has had a resurgence lately.
Relic. Dart Cloud Functions.
If you’re building with Flutter and you’re wondering whether the Dart backend actually makes sense now, and what your real options are, I broke it down in a practical guide.

I write all my articles by hand for the first draft and the final polish. I do use LLMs in between to try to get a clearer message (to what I find appropriate).
I understand if you don't want to read it, but there is nothing dishonest about this article. I've lived through what I wrote with those 3 apps. Take it as you wish and have a good day.

My 2 cents: if you are big enough and the competition isn't as strong, users will give you a pass on some performance issues as long as they get the content they want.

I remember one time there was a random Philips TV that just kept crashing when the user tried to do "right" on the last item in a horizontal menu. The client kept testing on this TV, and we spent 3 weeks because my team lead at the time wouldn't trust me that I needed the TV to solve it.
They finally agreed to send us the TV. Solved the issue in 10mins.

I've noticed this as well. My best guess is either low hardware or just a bad solution.
If they planned to use a unified codebase for Prime app, they likely went with something HTML/CSS-based, which would explain the performance issues. I could be wrong, but it's just a hunch I have.

Absolutely. I do the same. IMO it's either Apple TV or Nvidia Shield. Everything else is hit or miss (likely miss).
From a developer's perspective, it's a nightmare to deal with such hardware.

I was thinking about this for the last 2 years.
People are constantly arguing about tech stacks.
Now I finally have words to express it and wrote an article.
Wondering what everybody here thinks. Does this align with your experience as well?
Senior mobile engineer with 8+ years of experience building and shipping production applications. I've shipped 30+ apps across B2B SaaS, consumer products, fitness, sports, IoT, AI/VR and hospitality.
I started with Android, moved to Kotlin, spent time working with native iOS/Swift, and have spent the last several years primarily working with Flutter. I'm comfortable working across Flutter, Android and iOS when a project requires it.
Some of the products I've worked on:
* B2B HR platform for the German market * Sports video platform * White-label municipal IoT applications * Consumer fitness applications * AI/VR platform for the moving industry * Android TV / OTT products * Check-in SaaS — including porting an existing iOS app to Android with authentication, check-in flows, profiles, pagination and offline support
I'm strongest when I can own the mobile side of a product end-to-end rather than just implement isolated UI tickets. I've worked across architecture, API integration, state management, authentication, offline functionality, analytics, subscriptions/payments, CI/CD and store releases.
I also use AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor extensively to move faster while keeping production-quality code.
I'm looking for paid remote work, either full-time or contract, with companies that have a real product and budget for engineering. I'm not looking for equity-only startup opportunities.
If you need an experienced mobile engineer who can take ownership of the product rather than just close tickets, feel free to reach out.
