serverless VS Flutter

I don't know any tutorials that cover all of these, but check out: https://cdkpatterns.com/ for 1) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/cdk_pipeline.html for 2) 3) and 5) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-cdk-testing.html for 4)

I would like to see re-useable design patterns advocated similar to the terraform/terragrunt modules concepts. Encouraging pulumi.ComponentResource definitions multi environment structure, best practices. The cdk guys have something similar https://cdkpatterns.com/.

While writing this post, the four stacks combined are 129 lines of source code. With the help of the CDK Constructs that are being used this translates to over 1k lines of code in CloudFormation. We are only using L2 constructs here – there is way more constructs available that you can use in the Constructs Hub and also a lot of guidance regarding the usage of CDK over at CDKPatterns.

I use the "Lambda-lith" pattern, primarily because I am using Rust and deploying via CI/CD (codepipeline).

Here is a read of common lambda design pattern https://github.com/cdk-patterns/serverless/blob/main/the-lambda-trilogy/README.md

Level 3 constructs are opinionated units of reusable code which often deliver a service. Open source level 3 constructs are available from AWS Solutions Constructs - an extension to the CDK, CDK Patterns - a library of well-architected patterns, Construct Hub - a library of open-source constructs and some even come out of the box with the CDK - these are appended with 'patterns' to make them identifiable. Two examples are shown below:

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
