Choosing the right tech stack for your MVP is a critical decision. The wrong choice can lead to delays, cost overruns, and even failure. neotech.studio chose Flutter, Firebase, and Stripe for an E-commerce MVP. Here's why, and how your startup can benefit from our experience.
1. First Issue: Slow Development
Many startups struggle with slow development times. This is where Flutter comes in. As a UI toolkit from Google, Flutter allows for rapid prototyping and faster development times.
Do this instead
- Adopt Flutter for its ability to create beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.
- Take advantage of Flutter's hot reload feature to experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs faster.
2. Second Issue: Complex Backend
Building a backend can be complex and time-consuming. However, Firebase, a Google's Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), simplifies this process.
Better approach
- Use Firebase to leverage built-in services like authentication, database, storage, and hosting.
- Reduce time and effort in managing server infrastructure and focus more on the application development.
3. Third Issue: Payment Processing
Integrating a reliable payment system can be tricky. Stripe, a powerful and flexible payment processing platform, can handle this with ease.
Do this instead
- Choose Stripe for its transparent pricing, security, and customizability.
- Benefit from Stripe's extensive documentation and supportive community.
Founder Checklist
- Choose a UI toolkit like Flutter for rapid prototyping and faster development.
- Leverage Firebase for backend services to reduce time and effort.
- Integrate Stripe for reliable and flexible payment processing.
