    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:

    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.

    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 :)
