Full Stack with Flutter - are we there yet?

Abstract - For quite some time Flutter has been grabbing attention of client-side developers as it offers big development velocity with high-quality results not just on mobile, but also on web and desktop. One frontier that it never quite solved is backend, which was always written separately and completely isolated from both Flutter framework and Dart language. Are we ready to change that in 2026?

Details about the talk for talk evaluation - The talk will explore an example of full-stack project developed fully in Dart (using Flutter for client-side and Serverpod for backend). The theme of the project would be an event aggregator where user can see info, favorite and register to attend various events. While the majority (30 minutes) of the talk will focus on the technical side of full-stack development in Dart, the last five minutes of the talk would be spent on process advantages that this offers which is allowing Dart developers to cover both verticals and that allows front-end developers to substitute back-end developers in case of sickness or vacation as well as vice-versa. This helps small teams keep development velocity high in real world when unexpected time-off happens for any reason.
