Before we jump into the topic, let us discuss what MVP is. The MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. In layman’s language, the MVP is a software product having barely essential features at the best possible cost. MVP is the best concept to determine the value of an idea. The MVP is meant for just a pool of users to test the usability of the product.
What are the best technologies for MVP?
For an MVP the best technologies are the no-codes or low-codes. To ensure highly efficient functionalities it is suggested to use hybrid app development frameworks like react-native and flutter. We have talked about these two in detail in one of our blogs Click Here to read it.
The technology we prefer for an MVP
Out of the two technologies, i.e react native and flutter we prefer flutter when we specifically talk about Minimum Viable Products. There are reasons to back our choice and the article talks about those reasons only.
What is flutter?
When we answer the above question in a formal way then the answer goes as follows “Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It is used to develop cross-platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Google Fuchsia, and the web from a single codebase” in simpler language, it is a hybrid development kit by google that uses dart as the programming language to build a cross-platform app. It is a highly scalable and efficient development kit and is used in many successful software products like google pay, Alibaba, AirBnB, etc.
What makes Flutter preferable for MVP Development?
- Cost-Effective Development Process: If you have read the article mentioned above, you must be knowing that Flutter uses a single code base for all three (Android, IOS, and Web) applications. So your development cost is reduced to a great extent.
- Technology of Future: If we talk comparatively Flutter is newer to other hybrid technologies like Xamarin and React-Native. But efficiency wise it is far better. The reason is that it is owned by Google, it uses Dart as the programming language and it is being upgraded at a faster pace. So in future as well it is going to be the relevant technology.
- Scalability: When we are developing an MVP the first thing that comes to our mind is, what if we plan to scale our product? Do we need to change technology? Do we need to shift to native app development? The answer is A big no. Successful platforms like Alibaba and Google Pay are built on flutter. So you can predict the possibility to scale your app from MVP to a full-fledged app.
- Resource Requirement: If one codebase can be used to build apps for different platforms, it is an obvious fact that the resource required would be reduced, and also the time taken to build the application is also reduced.
- Investor Friendly: This point might sound weird to you but it is a well-known fact that investors are more inclined towards a product that is built over a high-end technology as compared to some low-end technology. There is logical reasoning, they feel that the app has good technological backing and the team can easily scale up the project when the need rises.
I guess you must be clear with the reasons why we choose flutter as the technology for MVP development and why it is an ideal technology for startups to launch their applications. We hope this article will help you to go ahead with your idea and convert it into a real-time application.
