Challenge

The company’s Flutter-based application suffered from recurring bugs, inconsistent behavior, and performance issues affecting video playback and real-time interactions. Overlapping development responsibilities also caused regressions and slowed feature delivery.

Solution

Application Stabilization

Toptal audited the Flutter application and Firebase back end, identified sources of recurring bugs, and implemented targeted fixes to improve video playback, upload workflows, and real-time responsiveness.

Stronger Engineering Practices

Toptal introduced clearer ownership boundaries, structured code reviews, and more disciplined deployment processes, alongside incremental refactoring and caching improvements to strengthen application reliability.

Outcome

Improved Application Performance

The improvements reduced critical regressions and enhanced video playback and real-time interactions, creating a more stable and responsive experience ahead of the planned launch.

More Predictable Development

Clearer ownership and improved engineering practices reduced time spent debugging and resolving release issues, enabling more predictable development cycles and establishing a stronger foundation for future features.
