Serverpod 🚀

Great news for all Flutter developers who want to do full-stack Dart! 🎯 Serverpod just closed our €2.7M seed round. 🥳 This will allow us to roll out Serverpod Cloud, build a new low-level server foundation for Dart through Relic, and add heaps of new features to our framework.

Fourth prize in our hackathon is Snipper, who gets $500 cash + $1,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits. Snipper is an automated content editor built for comedians. youtube.com/watch?v=QUFZJD…

Built a little ChatGPT-style chatbot with Flutter + @ServerpodDev Still in progress, but understanding the architecture, real-time streaming, and backend flow has been a big part of the build. So far Serverpod has been great 💯 #FlutterDev #Serverpod #AI #BuildInPublic

I asked 650 Flutter developers on LinkedIn and X about how they use agentic coding when building their apps. Only 9% of developers still write all their code manually, and 49% never touch the code. As a community, we have everything to gain if we can improve the quality of the code we generate. The AI agents aren't very good at writing code for Dart packages they haven’t been extensively trained on, or even for the latest versions of libraries. The solution is to provide the models with relevant context. I think many of us already do this to a certain extent through custom rules and skills. But the rules often become outdated as we upgrade dependencies in our projects and new features are added. What if we could bundle the AI agent skills with the Dart packages while keeping them version-controlled and up-to-date? This is where the idea for package:skills comes from. I’ve spent the last few weeks building a command-line tool that automatically installs AI agent skills relevant to your Flutter app. Package maintainers can simply add a “skills” directory to their Dart package, and the skills will be added to the user’s IDE when they run “skills get”. It even automatically detects your IDE and places the skills in the correct locations. Currently, only a few packages are supported. Severpod and Relic, of course, plus some other 3rd-party packages. But the tool will also install the official Flutter skills from Google. So, regardless of which packages you use, running “skills get” will instantly improve your code generation. Wanna try it out? Just run “dart pub global activate skills” followed by “skills get” (in the root of your Flutter/Dart project). If you are a package maintainer, consider adding a skills directory to your package with relevant skills. You can find detailed instructions on Pub. For packages that haven’t added skills yet, we are also building a community-maintained skills registry. Please reach out if you want to contribute or discuss. Let’s build this together, share our progress and learnings, and grow as a community. The better we can make the code generation experience, the stronger Flutter will be.

Quite an interesting write-up about Serverpod after a weekend's exploration. 😎 engineering.monstar-lab.com/en/post/2026/0…

@hackenzi @viktorlidholt Hi! We have a $19/mo starter plan without a database. It’s very competitively priced for the compute you get.

We currently have an opening for a Senior Flutter/Dart developer at @ServerpodDev 🚀 It’s a remote-friendly position, super challenging, and a fun team and tasks. Requirements 5+ years experience and CS degree. More info on our webpage.

Find our job postings on our careers page. 🌱

Try out our new skills for AI agents (currently in beta). It will instantly help your agent write better code. The skills package installs version-controlled skills for supported packages (including Flutter, Serverpod, and many other packages).

@OussamaMtlh Can you be a bit more specific about what you want? Are you thinking about the signalling for WebRTC? Is this specifically for the chat or more of a general feature?

@ServerpodDev Simpler webrtc implementation

What does your dream experience look like for building an app with a chat? 💬 This is your chance to weigh in. Here is the RFC for our new chat module: 👉 github.com/serverpod/serv…

How did you do the performance tests? Is it comparing the full Relic framework to your router, or does it just use Relic’s router? Basically, is it an apples-to-apples comparison? Also, is it backward compatible with Relic? If not, it will be very hard for us to include. But you can always create middleware and make it an option. We’d be happy to link to it from our documentation.

@ServerpodDev Perhaps we could just use roux? We should keep the community active.

@ServerpodDev Could you upgrade Relic's baseline from routingkit to roux? I've already rewritten routingkit using roux and renamed routingkit to roux.💥

Flutter devs! Here is something I’ve been working on for a while. AI agent skills for your Flutter and Dart packages, making your AI coding workflow instantly better. 🤯🤩 It’s very much a beta, but I would love to hear your feedback. It takes less than a minute to get up and running: Install: 👉 `dart pub global activate skills` In your project root: 👉 `skills get` The `skills` package will automatically detect your IDE (or pass the `--ide` flag) and install the skills in the correct locations. It will check which packages your project uses and find the appropriate skills for you. Currently supported packages: - flutter (official skills by Google) - serverpod (official skills) - relic (official skills) - riverpod (serverpod/skills-registry on GitHub) - shadcn_ui (serverpod/skills-registry on GitHub) 1️⃣ Help me try this out! I don’t have a Windows machine, but I added Windows tests to GitHub. Please let me know if it actually works. Please post any issues you encounter on GitHub (serverpod/skills). 2️⃣ This will be more amazing with support for more Dart and Flutter packages. If you are a package maintainer, consider adding skills to your package (just place them in a `skills` directory at the root of the package. It's also possible to send a PR for skills for any package to the registry (serverpod/skills-registry on GitHub). 3️⃣ Spread the word! The more users and packages we get on board, the better it will be for everyone to AI-code their Flutter apps! 🥳

Serverpod 3.4 is out, and there is A LOT of new stuff in this release. 🚀 - You can now create shared packages between Flutter and Serverpod, which include shared models. - Caching now works with all types of serializable objects (including lists, maps, sets, records, and primitives). - Improvements to the ORM include row-level locking. - Improved support for cloud storage. - Better configurations for VSCode-compatible IDEs. - Shell completion support for the CLI. On the authentication side, we’ve made it possible to attach data to SSS/JWT tokens, plus we now support sign-in with: Email, Google, Apple, Facebook, Firebase, GitHub, Microsoft, Passkey, and anonymous users. A huge shout-out to everyone who has contributed code to this release. Thank you! 🤩 We are working on a couple of seriously cool new features for the framework that will be included soon, so stay tuned.

The winners of the “Build your Flutter Butler with Serverpod” hackathon have been announced. 🏆 See all the winning projects on our blog. It’s so inspiring to see what can be built in just a short amount of time. 👉 serverpod.dev/blog/flutter-b…

I won 🥈 in @ServerpodDev hackathon! x.com/Abishek_Muthia…

@tmelroyy It’s in the works! The texts in the academy should be up to date, but we’re still working on remaking the videos.

Hey @ServerpodDev, are you expecting to upgrade Serverpod Academy? I'm trying to learn backend dev with Serverpod, but I can't really find any updated tutorials for your latest version. (It seems auth has changed a lot since v2.)

The Build your Flutter Butler with @ServerpodDev hackathon is coming to an end. It’s been hard work reviewing all of the amazing submissions, but we’re finally ready to announce the winners. Join us on YouTube for the grand reveal today at 5 pm CET (11 am EST / 8 am PST). 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=ZGHxxb…

@Jack_JD_17 @viktorlidholt Happy to say that SQLite support is in the works. With some luck, it will be included in our next minor update! 🙌

@viktorlidholt @ServerpodDev I love Serverpod, but its database cannot be changed or extended with another DB. Since I work with IoT systems, I need more flexibility in the backend. It would be really great if an ORM like Serverpod’s were available for other Dart backend frameworks as well.

Relic 1.0 is out, and it’s a game-changer for server-side Dart. 🎯

Relic is slick. Dart on server has so much potential - it's easy to deploy, boots fast, and serves fast! I got my first Relic server on Cloud Run up in less than a minute - look at those latency numbers!

Relic is trending on Pub.dev. 🤩 Check out our new Dart web server if you haven’t!
