Architectural thinking on Flutter State Management

By Majid Hajian

Architectural thinking on Flutter State Management

Sometimes state management shapes the application architecture, which we even interchangeably call state management, app architecture. State management is a controversial topic among all developers, and it's, at the same time, one of the most complex topics that developers should decide on when they are building a Flutter app. Many developers say one solution is the best, whereas some disagree! What if I tell you that, in my opinion, there is no right and wrong answer! If you ask a software architect, which state management is the best for an application? The answer is evident; It Depends. This talk discusses how to think like an architect and understand, recognize, and analyze tradeoffs and characteristics when choosing state management. I will show you why all state management might be best and worst, at the same time for your application which eventually helps you to make your mind to determine your appropriate solution.
