## What it is
Serverpod is an open-source app and web server framework written in Dart, designed specifically for the Flutter ecosystem. It provides code generation for APIs, a built-in ORM with migrations, caching, authentication, real-time streaming, and an insight dashboard for logging and health checks.

## Use cases
- build a backend for a Flutter app in Dart
- auto-generate type-safe client APIs from server endpoints
- manage PostgreSQL schema with migrations and a Dart ORM
- add social login with Google, Apple, Firebase, or email
- stream real-time messages over authenticated websockets
- cache objects locally or across a cluster with Redis
- schedule delayed future calls instead of cron jobs
- upload files to S3 or Google Cloud Storage

## When to choose
- your team writes Flutter and wants end-to-end type-safe Dart from client to database
- you want batteries-included backend features like auth, caching, logging, and migrations out of the box
- you prefer generated client code over hand-written REST/GraphQL clients

## When to avoid
- your backend must be in a language other than Dart
- you need a polyglot microservices setup or non-PostgreSQL primary database
- you only need a simple static site or thin REST proxy

## Facets
- artifact type: framework

- function: web-framework, api-framework, orm, caching, auth, websocket, logging, scheduling, file-upload, http-server
- domain: backend, web-development, mobile-development, databases, developer-tools
