This week in Flutter #89: Realm for Dart and Flutter
Realm is a mobile-first database with SDKs available for Swift, Kotlin, React Native, and
other non-mobile stacks. This week, MongoDB announced the availability of a
Realm SDK for Flutter/Dart. It is open source and the Dart team posted an article about it. The SDK calls the C++ Realm library
using dart:ffi. If you have used Realm in other projects you can now port your knowledge to
Flutter projects as well.

A handy way to do it, if you already use Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics, is via Firebase Remote Config.

Craig and Felix talk, and show, Mason, a template generator that helps teams generate files quickly and consistently. If you find yourself creating always the same files, with always the same starter boilerplate, over and over again, then you should have a look into it. There are plenty of “bricks” you can use at BrickHub.
