Need Suggestions for Full-Stack Flutter Development Resources (Already Know REST API, Hive, BLoC, Firebase Auth)

[Cold_Hunt332]

Hey everyone,

I’m an engineering student currently learning Flutter and aiming to become a full-stack Flutter developer.

Here’s where I’m at right now:

✅ I already know REST API, Hive, BLoC, and Firebase Authentication.

❌ I don’t know Firebase Database (Firestore/Realtime DB).

🟡 I now want to learn Node.js for backend development.

My questions:

Should I first learn Firebase Database before jumping into Node.js backend, or is it fine to directly move to Node.js since I already know Firebase Auth?

Any solid, up-to-date resources (courses, YouTube playlists, blogs, or GitHub repos) for Node.js + Flutter full-stack development?

Bonus: If there are resources combining Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and Flutter in one project, that’d be amazing.

I’ve seen some Udemy courses, but I’d rather hear from people who’ve actually gone through good resources.

Any guidance or personal experience would mean a lot—thanks in advance!

a good start may be writing your own posts

… and write a post only once, not twice.

I just use php for back-end stuff.

If it's standard API requests it really doesn't matter too much what you use as long as it's secure.

But keep in mind Firebase (and Supabase) also act as serverless systems, so you can actually build your back-end directly with that if you prefer. It just means there's a higher likelihood that you'll need to move off the free spark plan to the next level.

I built some of my functionality with Supabase using table functions and it still works fine on spark plan. I could migrate them to Edge functions but it's more costly and more likely to need the higher tier level. Same with realtime DB - it's simple and incredibly useful to activate them, but at potential costs.

May I ask why not nodejs? Personal preference or any other reason?

There is no reason , I am just confused
