Medium Posts: A Comprehensive Guide to Flutter Hosting and Cloud Storage

Over the course of my development journey, I’ve encountered various scenarios where deploying Flutter apps or handling cloud storage became critical. Here’s a breakdown of some of my detailed Medium posts that walk you through hosting Flutter web projects and managing cloud storage for Android apps. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, these guides aim to simplify the process and help you avoid common pitfalls.




 1. Hosting a Flutter Web Project on GitHub Pages


Hosting a Flutter web app doesn’t always require a paid server or complex setups. In this post, I provide a straightforward guide on how to deploy your Flutter web project on GitHub Pages — an excellent and free option for static website hosting. 


Why GitHub Pages?

- Cost-Effective: It’s completely free to use, making it an ideal option for small projects or personal portfolios.

- Seamless Integration: If you’re already using Git for version control, deploying to GitHub Pages is a natural extension.

- Quick Deployment: Once you have your Flutter web project ready, you can host it within minutes.


The post walks you through the entire process, from building your Flutter project for the web to configuring GitHub Pages to serve it. No advanced DevOps skills are needed!




 2. Hosting a Flutter Web App on IIS Server: A Step-by-Step Guide


For developers who prefer hosting web apps on their local systems rather than relying on cloud services, the IIS Server (Internet Information Services) is an excellent option. This guide offers a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for deploying your Flutter web app on IIS.


Key Highlights:

- Local Hosting: Ideal for testing or internal applications where you prefer not to use cloud-based services.

- Control Over Configuration: With IIS, you have more control over server settings and configurations, allowing greater customization for how your app is served.

- Detailed Walkthrough: The post covers setting up IIS, configuring it for Flutter apps, and resolving potential issues you might encounter along the way.


This guide is perfect for those looking for a local deployment solution for their Flutter web apps, without needing external cloud infrastructure.




 3. Google Cloud Storage Bucket for Android: Upload Audio and Image


Managing media files, such as audio and images, can be tricky, especially when it comes to Android apps that require scalable storage solutions. In this post, I delve into how you can use Google Cloud Storage buckets to upload and store audio and image files efficiently in your Android applications.


Why Google Cloud Storage?

- Scalability: Google Cloud’s infrastructure is robust, allowing you to scale your storage needs as your app grows.

- Efficient Data Management: Perfect for handling larger files such as audio recordings and high-resolution images.

- Integration with Google Services: Seamlessly integrates with other Google services like Google Cloud Functions, making it easier to perform tasks like extracting text from audio files or applying AI to images.


The post also covers setting up Google Cloud Storage, integrating it with your Android app, and using it to store and retrieve media files. This is particularly useful for apps that deal with content-heavy data like audio transcriptions or media libraries.




These guides offer valuable insights and practical solutions for hosting Flutter web apps and managing cloud storage in Android apps. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a specific solution, these posts are here to help you navigate through deployment and storage challenges efficiently.
