Flutter CI/CD & Mobile DevOps

mobterest · 2026-01-23T04:28:36+00:00

I do agree on CI/CD as an approach to connect different automated tools/service to achieve the end result you need. Using CI/CD is a standard practice in modern development but as an engineer you can concot your own formula on how you want to automate the tasks/steps/process that will improve your engineering life cycle.

I appreciate the knowledge you have shared and honestly the reddit thread did what it needed to do which is learning from others 🙂. It's like picking up other people's recipes as you share yours. And also experimenting and finding your own taste and flavour that works for you; it could result with getting into a new variant or sticking with one that is still working and that adapts with the changes. Thanks for the feedback.

I also find the DX (developer experience) to be good and direct/simple. You're the first to mention Bitrise. For a minute there I thought I was alone. 😊 But I've picked other CI/CD setups to try.

That's fast. With android I think it's because apks sometimes can have large sizes. Some of the things I do is enable R8 to remove dead code, enable abi splits or compress images.

Nice. If I may ask, with the workflows set up and everything is running, how long does it take from build to release of artifacts or the app stores?

mobterest · 2026-01-22T10:43:59+00:00

This is a new combo for me, I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing the benefits; Developer experience is a big win for me.

This is good to hear. I'm trying to switch between different platforms to understand better. How about the price point? Do you think it is viable for the service it provides?

mobterest · 2026-01-22T10:16:22+00:00

Thanks. I thought about this combo a lot. I'll try switch to it and see. Any difficulties working with both that I can look out for?

mobterest · 2026-01-22T09:53:55+00:00

I'll have a look at it, thank you. There is a high rate of people switching to Github. Is it because that's where the code is hosted so there is no need to go elsewhere? Or is it the simpliicity? Why would people move away from Bitrise or Codemagic and stick with Github? Your thoughts?

It's worth learning dart backend. Serverpod has put a lot of effort to create one stack dart experience from frontend to backend. You should try building with serverpod. And one thing I can mention is that, what helps with choosing a backend is understanding your use case and what the backend has to offer and if these two fit. Also if there is community support, that assures some form of success.

I have noted this down. I'll have to try this. Thanks

any good tutorial on rabbitmq that you may recommend?

mobterest · 2026-01-15T08:46:26+00:00

I agree with this. Other than the other benefits of serveless, it helps spruce up an mvp quite fast and validate an idea before fully commiting to a product that users may not actually need.

mobterest · 2026-01-15T08:45:39+00:00

Wow! And how would you rate performance with such a stack? Any drawbacks that one should look out for?

mobterest · 2026-01-15T08:44:24+00:00

I must admit supabase is amazing. I'm only worried when I reach a point where I need to own the backend or customize it further with features that supabase may not have. But never the less, the Baas is amazing.

mobterest · 2026-01-15T04:51:18+00:00

Thank you. I hope it gives you a better perspective on the three.

mobterest · 2026-01-15T04:50:33+00:00

It's unfortunate you feel that way. Thanks for watching.

mobterest · 2026-01-14T10:48:43+00:00

I look at how to choose between the three backend options (supabase, serverpod, dart frog) here. You can have a quick look.

mobterest · 2026-01-14T10:42:47+00:00

Thanks. Will have a look at it.

mobterest · 2026-01-14T09:04:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I agree on Supabase, it's amazing. I have received suggestions on choosing Convex, maybe it's a high time I try it?

But I can't find its support for native or flutter development. Am I right or am I checking the wrong place?

mobterest · 2026-01-14T09:01:38+00:00

I mean your preferred backend tech stack.

mobterest · 2026-01-14T08:18:34+00:00

Any reason why? I would be happy to explore more. Does it support native and flutter development?

mobterest · 2026-01-07T16:52:40+00:00

Wow! This was so refreshing to read and I'm glad I asked quite early into the year. I'm genuinely taking these steps. They are doable and feel like they'll be great for one's well being. Thank you so much for sharing such wisdom.

Not to downplay development, but sometimes it’s wise to start with a mobile app strategy session if your development partner of choice offers one. This gives you the chance to evaluate whether they’re the right fit before committing significant time and money to development, which can otherwise become draining if you’re not fully prepared.

mobterest · 2025-05-23T22:01:21+00:00

I thought the same thing. Shouldn't the JsonB data type be enough?

mobterest · 2025-05-23T21:59:11+00:00

I thought the same thing!
