About This Article
Flutter developers struggled to integrate with AWS infrastructure and had to find workarounds when clients asked about compatibility. Very Good Ventures could only tell clients "Yes, but..." when AWS integration came up.
Amazon built Amplify Flutter, an open source framework with libraries, command-line tools, and deployment services. It lets Flutter developers connect to cloud services directly in their apps.
This removes a real barrier for enterprises already using AWS, which holds 33% of the global cloud market. It's especially helpful for companies in regions where Google services don't work well, making Flutter a more viable choice for them.
