The AI Backend in Dart

The Server Every AI App Needs

Your AI app's provider key is sitting inside the app right now — and a stranger can drain it in minutes. This book moves the intelligence server-side in Dart: a streaming key-proxy, RAG over private data, auth, metered billing, background jobs, and deploy — the backend every real AI app needs, built end to end with Dart Frog.

What’s inside

  • Move the provider key server-side behind a clean proxy — the vulnerability, gone
  • Stream tokens through your server, and give the model tools next to your data
  • Postgres + pgvector RAG, per-user auth, metered billing, and background jobs
  • Containerize and deploy to Fly.io / Cloud Run — plus an honest Serverpod head-to-head
