Deploy Flutter Web Like a Pro – Part 1: Versioned Builds & Cache Busting

In this first video of my 4-part series on deploying Flutter Web like a pro, we dive into how to structure your builds using semantic versioning and --base-href for flawless cache busting and zero-downtime releases. You’ll learn: - How to generate versioned builds like /4.6.2/ - How to use --base-href - Why separating index.html and version.json is critical - The ideal folder structure for long-term hosting on S3 or a CDN This setup lays the groundwork for automated CI/CD, global delivery, and runtime update notifications — all of which we’ll cover in the next videos. ✅ Coming up in the series: - Part 2: Hosting on AWS S3 + Cloudflare - Part 3: Automating deploys with GitHub Actions - Part 4: Notifying users of new releases + advanced routing 👇 Links: Inspired by: https://lukasnevosad.medium.com/our-flutter-web-strategy-for-deferred-loading-instant-updates-happy-users-45ed90a7727c Build Script: https://github.com/tylersavery/flutter_web_deploy/blob/36defb33f17093e0f690d9ca76608196ec5cf65a/deploy.sh 💬 Got questions or want to see another variation of this setup?
