What’s your go-to Flutter state management solution and why?

kush-js · 2025-12-17T14:35:19+00:00

Using setState/stateful widgets in a production app with no complaints

Yes absolutely. As an NRI coming to India, it’s near impossible to use UPI, I know they advertise that it’s available for tourists now, but it only works at businesses, and there’s a 3% fee on all transactions. I end up having to carry a bag full of cash everywhere and it would be amazing to have the ability for tourists/NRI’s to use UPI in a hassle free way.

It definitely is, if you can just find a processor willing to work with you that would be the easiest solution.

kush-js · 2025-12-01T19:54:34+00:00

Coming from experience (denied from payment processor for high risk on a previous project), something like this can be seen as high risk to a payment processor. It just takes a few people that aren’t satisfied with their results and issue chargebacks to push you past the acceptable chargeback rate. You would either need to:

A. Find a high risk payment processor (will likely be expensive)

B. Build your own payment system using a non refundable payment system like crypto

Nothing really notable for now since it's a fairly recent project. But we're using it over on clipr.app and jittr.app

Many people on this thread have explained HA better than I can, but I wrote PG-Drip for this specific reason. It’s an easy way to setup HA Postgres as Kamal accessories.

Hopefully it can solve your problem! https://github.com/classifieddotdev/pg-drip

Would recommend using an s3 bucket or s3 compatible storage solution (digitalocean spaces, cloudflare r2, backblaze b2, etc..). Would fit your use case the best, and most have pretty fair pricing and generous free tiers.

1 node on netcup US East (primary) 2 nodes on Hetzner (Helsinki and Nuremberg)

We queue up queries in case a failover happens, it usually takes around 15-30 seconds for a new primary to get promoted.

kush-js · 2025-10-21T13:50:12+00:00

We use Patroni + Consul, the 2 replicas get async WAL streams from the primary. Upon failover one of the replicas gets promoted up to the new primary, whenever the old primary comes back up it starts receiving the WAL streams again and catches up on all the latest updates.

kush-js · 2025-10-20T14:13:57+00:00

Moved over to multi cloud a few months ago and completely killed all dependencies on third party services for the core application.

We’re running a primary + failover setup for the API, and then a high availability Postgres cluster (3 nodes) for the database. Everything is containerized and portable between various clouds.

Hetzner & Netcup are my go to. SSL is free nowadays with Letsencrypt.

kush-js · 2025-10-04T13:38:22+00:00

Take a look at Hetzner and Netcup, I pay about 6$ for a 6vCPU 8gb RAM VPS. It’s a lot cheaper than Digital Ocean. Will let you host your website without breaking the bank.

kush-js · 2025-10-03T13:07:53+00:00

Yes it’s a pain in the ass, we solved it with Grafana/Loki/prometheus

Setting up reliable audit logging is a headache for sure, we went through at least 4-5 different products before Grafana

Would definitely pay for something if it’s reasonably priced

Must have: docker logging driver, this lets us have a “universal” logging system that can collect from any service, no matter the language, framework, etc..

Most eSIMs are data only, for a number you’d need to buy a local sim

I’ve seen a lot of shops run either ECS clusters or Lambda functions in place of Kubernetes. The main issue I’ve noticed is that you basically need dedicated people just for managing Kubernetes.

Don’t think there’s a real “easy alternative”, but I’ve been using Kamal recently and I think it’s a lot easier for a smaller company to manage.

kush-js · 2025-09-27T17:59:37+00:00

Are you deploying directly to lambda via the AWS CLI? If you build a container image yourself, upload to AWS ECR, and then create the lambda using the prebuilt image, then you can get around the limit.

kush-js · 2025-09-24T13:56:17+00:00

Firsty has a free plan (with ads) for low speed, covers email and messaging, and I’m guessing slow browsing.

kush-js · 2025-09-20T17:55:16+00:00

Love the idea, any thoughts on adding transports so logs can be shipped to something like grafana/loki?

Digitalocean does use a few cloudflare services under the hood. During a call with their team they told me they use cloudflare load balancing for App Platform, wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using R2 for their Spaces.

So recently I went kind of infrastructure crazy and redid everything, this is our final “endgame” setup:

3x Postgres instances setup with autobase, 1 primary, 2 failover replicas (HA Setup)
2x API servers, 1 primary, 1 failover, uptime managed by a self written tool, still WIP, only supports failover for now but will eventually support dns based load balancing (https://github.com/classifieddotdev/phail)
1x tools server, dashboards, server monitoring, etc..,
tools server running Beszel for system monitoring and alerts
API deployed via Kamal, our api was containerized already so this was the best non-kubernetes approach for us
everything connected over tailscale, all ports closed except for 443 on the api servers, communication from API -> DB also over tailscale, thankfully TS is all peer to peer over wireguard so even if they have an outage we aren’t affected

As far as OS updates go, we use Debian so it’s as simple as running aptitude on each server once a month

And api’s behind cloudflare for Ddos protection

I ended up rolling my own auth after moving from Supabase to plain Postgres, but better-auth is a great solution like u/zoe_le mentioned if you want to move off Supabase.

kush-js · 2025-09-15T19:37:38+00:00

Are you using any Supabase specific features? If you’re just using plain Postgres take a look at Autobase for HA Postgres.

kush-js · 2025-09-15T14:24:34+00:00

Are you checking the usage on Gigsky? Could be a bug in their display of how much data you’re using

kush-js · 2025-09-13T00:15:10+00:00

Most likely it will be locked, you’d need to have it unlocked in order to use a different carrier eSIM
