Node.js Backend for Flutter Beginners

Node js Backend for Flutter Beginners is an essential course that empowers Flutter developers to create customized backend solutions using Node js and MongoDB freeing themselves from the potential limitations and expenses associated with Firebase. In this comprehensive guide, you'll dive deep into the process of building a robust server codebase and seamlessly deploying it with the help of Railway App. Although authentication is not covered, you'll explore the popular Provider package as your go to state management tool.

With step-by-step instructions and practical examples, you'll learn the ins and outs of CRUD operations, allowing you to develop a solid foundation in backend development. By harnessing the power of Node js and MongoDB, you'll gain full control over your data and enjoy the flexibility to tailor your backend to suit your specific needs.

Moreover, this book emphasizes the importance of avoiding vendor lock-in by opting for a custom backend solution. While Firebase offers convenience, it can become costly in the long run, especially as your application scales and the amount of data processed increases. By leveraging Node js and MongoDB, you'll not only reduce your expenses but also gain the freedom to optimize your backend infrastructure according to your unique requirements.
