In the race to build scalable startups, the choice of technology stack can be a game-changer. Many entrepreneurs choose Flutter for MVP development, attracted by its rapid prototyping capabilities. But what happens when your startup scales beyond Series A? That's where Swift and Vapor come into play.
1. The Problem with Flutter
In our experience building 100+ MVPs, we've noticed that Flutter, while efficient for initial development and prototyping, can become a bottleneck when scaling. The reason? Flutter's cross-platform nature may lead to performance and customization issues in complex applications.
Better Approach
- Consider your growth trajectory and potential scaling needs before settling for a tech stack.
- Evaluate not just the development speed but also future performance and customization possibilities.
2. The Swift and Vapor Advantage
Swift and Vapor offer a potent combination for value-driven, scalable app development. Swift, with its robust performance, and Vapor, a powerful server-side Swift framework, can handle complex functionalities with ease.
Do This Instead
- Consider Swift and Vapor if you're planning for high-growth scaling.
- Ensure your tech team is equipped to work with these platforms, or partner with an agency that has proven expertise.
Founder Checklist
- Assess your app's long-term needs and growth potential before choosing a tech stack.
- Consider Swift and Vapor for improved performance and scalability.
- Build or hire a team capable of leveraging the strengths of Swift and Vapor.
