AI-Guided AWS Deployment for Your Dart Backend Applications
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.

shelf_proxy
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:

Server-side Dart
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
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
