As Flutter projects grow in size and complexity — especially in enterprise-scale environments — manual processes can quickly become bottlenecks. In this talk, we’ll explore how automation can streamline local development, pull requests, releases, and ongoing maintenance of a large-scale Flutter codebase. Starting from well-known practices like enforcing consistent formatting or zero tolerance for linter warnings, to streamlining boilerplate code generation and maintaining consistency in monorepos, and extending to less obvious strategies like validating licenses of new dependencies or detecting circular dependencies — we’ll explore a wide range of automation ideas, including fully custom checks tailored to your team’s needs. You’ll leave this session equipped with practical, actionable strategies for building more efficient, reliable, and scalable Flutter development workflows.

As Flutter developers, you’ve almost certainly encountered annotations like `@override` and `@deprecated`. But Dart’s annotation system offers much more than just these built-in cases, yet this feature remains underused in the majority of projects. In this talk, we’ll explore what annotations are, how to create custom ones, and how they can serve as code documentation, drive analyzer warnings, and power code generators. You’ll learn to apply Dart annotations in ways that improve developer experience and code maintainability.
