Speaker at re:Invent 2022 - COM307 Using CDK pipelines (in Java) to build a multi-platform Flutter application

Flutter as a trending cross platform development framework can accelerate the Go-to-market for Startups and Enterprises. For business success, a CI/CD pipeline is required to achieve fast lead times to production - for all platforms that you aim to support. In this talk, we are presenting a possible CI/CD pipeline using CDK pipelines (on top of AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild) to build, test and release a Flutter application. The CDK infrastructure is written in Java.
