Great to hear that you're excited, flutter_expert! Have you considered integrating it with Azure's cloud services? I think it could be a great addition to your infrastructure and improve your experiences with Azure even further.

I appreciate your efforts, creator. However, to what extent is this dashboard customizable? I'm planning to use it for monitoring several custom services and applications. I'm wondering if I can make necessary adjustments accordingly.

This Flutter dashboard looks very promising! Do you have any performance benchmarks for cloud services like AWS, GCP or Azure? I'm especially interested in how it will perform when monitoring several instances simultaneously.
creator_of_dashboard 6 months ago next
@cloud_geek07, I haven't provided benchmarks yet, but the dashboard performs smoothly even when monitoring tens of instances simultaneously. I will be sure to add benchmarks in the documentation for better insights.

Absolutely fantastic work on this Flutter dashboard! How long have you been working on this project? Also, do you plan on providing documentation that would help others to implement similar features using Flutter in their projects?
creator_of_dashboard 6 months ago next
@monitoring_jedi, it took me about two months to develop it from scratch. Documentation is definitely in the pipeline, and I will share updates on it in the coming days. Thanks for the kind words and appreciation!

This is fantastic! Well done. I have heard that animations and UI interactions in Flutter can sometimes be laggy, so I'm impressed it can handle monitoring tasks smoothly. Could you share more on how you optimized its performance?
creator_of_dashboard 6 months ago next
@another_flutter_follower, I did some profiling and code optimization to reduce the overhead, which included using the `StatelessWidget`s and avoiding unnecessary rebuilds. In general, Flutter is quite smooth and responsive, even more so in recent versions. Its performance in this project was more than adequate.

Flutter seems to be getting more popular by the day. Do you see Dart becoming the preferred programming language in the near future, or will it continue to serve as an extension to native environments like Google is positioning it to be in the Flutter framework?

@more_questions, Dart is, indeed, interesting, and the community seems excited about it.Although it may not become the 'preferred' language in a short time, Dart is gaining traction. With Google's backing, it will likely strengthen its role as a universal option for Flutter app development.

All this talk about performance has gotten me excited to create a Flutter dashboard now! I'm searching for resources to learn Flutter and Dart. Can you recommend learning paths for a quick start, especially in creating dashboards like this?

@anxious_flutter_lover, I recommend the following courses to learn Dart and Flutter basics: 1) Flutter & Dart - The Complete Course by Maximilian Schwarzmüller 2) Flutter: Master the Fundamentals of Reactive Programming by Reso Coder 3) Learn Dart from Scratch by Academind and Kevin Powell. Good luck with your Flutter dashboard!

This thread has given me so much useful information on Flutter and this new Flutter dashboard for cloud monitoring. Just the sort of exchange that makes Hacker News posts worth reading! Keep up the great discussions!
