  • AI-Guided AWS Deployment for Your Dart Backend Applications
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 May 2025
    Dart's potential for backend development has gained a lot of attention. While Dart's official shelf library has been the traditional solution for backend development, there has been other solutions to enable full-stack Dart applications. Projects like Serverpod and Dart Frog are expanding the ecosystem, making it easier than ever to build complete applications using Dart on both frontend and backend.

    To be honest, there's not much to it! It's a single-file add-on for the shelf package with about 100 lines of code, and the comment for the ProxyHandler class at the top sums up the shelf-proxy package pretty well:
  • Is a Quick Start Guide helpful for beginners?
    1 project | /r/dartlang | 5 Mar 2023
    The Dart Language Tour has all of this basic stuff but better, and when you're done, look at the shelf package on pub.dev if you want to get started on creating a server.
  • Dart in backend??
    2 projects | /r/dartlang | 1 Dec 2022
    These are the best backend frameworks for Dart right now but you can use the shelf package if you want a slightly different approach

    Thats all what I found - https://github.com/dart-lang/shelf/issues/29 Looks like this is the most recent updated package, not very well know, which can handle cookies - https://pub.dev/packages/shelf\_secure\_cookie
  • Server-side Dart
    4 projects | dev.to | 3 Oct 2022
    There was a time, I want to start a new project and have to choose what technologies to use for the frontend and backend parts as well. Research gets me to Aqueduct and Shelf, both of them weren't looking actively developing and supported and that leads me to the idea to make my own small micro-framework like Echo for Golang or Bottle for Python. And it was easy to decide: I've had time and motivation :)

  • The state of server-side frameworks for Dart
    6 projects | /r/dartlang | 12 Mar 2021
    The only remaining major server-side framework is Jaguar. Though the maintainer has stated that they will continue to maintain the project, there had been a five-month gap between the last two commits (there was, however, a null-safety commit yesterday).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing shelf and jaguar you can also consider the following projects:

aqueduct - Dart HTTP server framework for building REST APIs. Includes PostgreSQL ORM and OAuth2 provider.

base_uri - A tiny wrapper around Uri to easily define a base uri. Supports api versions.

pub-dev - The pub.dev website

shelf_plus

crdt_sync - A dart-native turnkey solution for painless network synchronization
