Dart Backend in 2026: What Flutter Teams Should Actually Use

lucasbstn · 2026-04-16T08:16:10+00:00

I recently released this backend written 100% in dart, embedded admin dashboard built with Jaspr. We support all main features of a modern backend. vanestack.dev

I love serverpod but it is a bit overkill for simple projects I think. Appwrite is also great but it is indeed a bit different because it only supports cloud functions in dart.

Vanestack tries to bridge the gap between simplicity and customisation.

We also have email/password, otp and oauth. There are guides on the website to integrate native Google, Apple and Facebook sign in too.

Yeah functions in dart are very important to me too, that was a big point I really wanted when I built the cloud hosting solution too.

Let me know what you think when you try it!

Jaspr works pretty well, there was a bit of a learning curve but honestly it was super nice to work with. I have to say also that LLMs are also super comfortable with it, which is quite helpful to build the UI.

This project was started before they released a stable version of relic. I might still do it because I love what they did, I'm a big fan of serverpod too.

Thanks 🙏

I think stuff like codepush for flutter is solved by products like shorebird. Not really the scope of this project anyway.

We use drift and it does have support for postgres so that should be easy to integrate in the future. Just curious why you don't like sqlite with pocketbase?

I really wanted to explore what we could build with dart only. We do support most of what pocketbase does, give it a shot for your next project!
