A few months ago, I began using Flutter for a sideproject (That I wanted to release).

Although the developer experience is absolute fantastic (And definitely the future), the plugin ecosystem is extremely lacking. I wanted to use AWS, and there was 0 backing for it. Since I didn't want to interact with raw AWS APIs, I moved to React Native.

It looks like you could "wrap" native libraries using custom packages: https://flutter.io/developing-packages/#plugin.

I'm curious which AWS APIs you'd want to connect your mobile app directly to. S3/ SQS?

I wanted to use Cognito & Lambda functions (Through the API Gateway). The AWS-Amplify library makes this super easy, but isn't available for Dart.

If there's a better way, please let me know! I loved Flutter, and I loved Dart.
