Bundeling 💙 Flutter

For this meetup we’re heading to Venray, where Bundeling is opening its doors to the Flutter Holland community. We’ll hear how Bundeling uses Flutter to power community apps for more than 300,000 users, on iOS, Android and the web, for organisations ranging from companies to football clubs like PSV, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.

Scroll down for the Agenda!

Bundeling brings an organisation’s communication, events, chat and news together in one platform. The twist: every customer gets their own fully branded app, with its own design, structure and wording, all from a single Flutter codebase. And that codebase is fairly new: last year Bundeling moved its entire platform from the old codebase to a brand-new Flutter one, while hundreds of customers kept using it every day. We’ll share what that migration looked like, what we’d do again and what we definitely wouldn’t.

Whether you’re building your first Flutter app or maintaining a dozen, come join us for an evening of good talks, food, drinks and plenty of Flutter chat. We’re looking forward to welcoming many of you in Venray and to a great evening together!

See you there! 💙

Talk descriptions:

1: Rewriting the plane mid-flight: migrating 900 branded platforms to Flutter
Taif Rahim - Flutter Developer @ Bundeling, and colleagues\
In April last year, Bundeling switched its entire platform over to a brand-new Flutter codebase. That meant 900 customers, each with their own branded platform, 30 standalone apps and 300,000 users on iOS, Android and web, all moving to one new app while they kept using it every day. In this talk we’ll take you behind the scenes of that migration: why we chose Flutter, how we structured the codebase to serve hundreds of differently branded apps, and what we ran into along the way. Expect honest lessons learned, a few war stories, and practical takeaways for anyone facing a rewrite of their own.

2: TBD
