Serverpod: A Revolutionary Flutter Backend Solution

Unleashing the Power of Automatic Code Generation

Serverpod's code generation feature revolutionizes backend development. By analyzing your server's code, it automatically generates your model and client-side code. Calling remote endpoints becomes as simple as making local method calls.

// Server code
class Product {
  String name;
  double price;
}

// Client code
Product product = await server.getProduct(1);
print(product.name); // "Product 1"

World-Class Logging for Exceptional Visibility

Serverpod's world-class logging system eliminates the frustration of sifting through endless server logs. Its intuitive user interface allows you to pinpoint exceptions and slow database queries with ease.

Streamlined ORM for Effortless Database Interactions

Serverpod's intuitive ORM simplifies database interactions. Queries leverage native Dart types and null-safety, providing a seamless path from statically checked code to the database.

// Example query
List products = await server.db.query(Product).asList();

Seamless File Uploading Made Easy

Serverpod offers flexible file upload options, allowing you to store files in Google Cloud Storage, S3, or your database.

// Upload file to Google Cloud Storage
await server.uploadGCS(file, "product-images/image.png");

Robust Authentication for Secure Access

Serverpod simplifies authentication with built-in support for social logins (Google, Apple, Firebase) and email.

// Sign in with Google
FirebaseUser user = await server.signInWithGoogle();

Real-Time Communication with Data Streaming

Serverpod's data streaming feature enables real-time communication. You can push messages from your server and send serialized objects through authenticated sockets across a server cluster.

// Push message to client
await server.pushMessage(user.id, "Hello from the server!");

Effortless Task Scheduling with Future Calls

Serverpod's future calls eliminate the need for complex cron jobs. Schedule method calls at specified times or delays, ensuring persistence even after server restarts.

// Schedule a task
await server.callFuture(() => print("Task completed!"), Duration(seconds: 60));

Comprehensive Health Monitoring for Proactive Problem Solving

Serverpod's health checks monitor your database and external services, enabling proactive alerts for any issues that arise.

// Check database health
HealthResult result = await server.health.database();
