Hands on labs teach integrating file pickers, rendering upload progress UI, and optimizing for responsive layouts on iOS and Android.

Students receive step by step exercises to build a complete upload feature from UI to cloud storage, preparing them for portfolio projects.

JustAcademy certification validates proficiency in using Flutter and Dart for production ready cloud file upload apps

2) Firebase Storage and Firebase SDK for Flutter

Firebase Storage provides a straightforward, secure backend for storing user files with strong client SDK support for Flutter.

Course modules explore authentication integration, security rules, resumable uploads, and metadata handling in real time.

Students practice configuring Firebase projects, implementing access control, and writing upload/download flows using firebase_storage and firebase_core packages.

Labs include offline caching, retry logic, and monitoring storage rules to prevent unauthorized access during real world usage.

Assessment tasks demonstrate how to connect Firebase Storage to Flutter apps and optimize costs and access patterns

3) Amazon S3 and AWS Amplify / AWS SDK

Amazon S3 is taught as a scalable object store alternative with advanced features like versioning and lifecycle policies.

Students learn to use Amplify Flutter or AWS SDK patterns to authenticate, upload, and manage files securely to S3 buckets.

Lessons cover multipart and resumable uploads, presigned URLs, bucket policies, and strategies for minimizing egress costs.

Hands on projects include configuring IAM roles, generating presigned uploads from a serverless backend, and integrating with Flutter clients.

Certification covers how to choose between Firebase Storage and S3 depending on application needs and enterprise constraints

4) Authentication tools: Firebase Auth, Amazon Cognito, and OAuth flows

Secure uploads require authenticated users; the course teaches Firebase Auth and Amazon Cognito integration patterns for Flutter.

Modules include email/password, social logins, and token exchange flows to secure upload endpoints and generate presigned URLs.

Students implement session management, token refresh, and role based access control to protect stored content.

Practical exercises show how to wire auth state to UI and storage rules so only authorized users can upload or access files.

Evaluation includes threat modeling to identify and mitigate common auth related vulnerabilities

5) File picker and media capture plugins: file_picker, image_picker, camera

These plugins allow users to select files or capture media directly from devices, forming the front door to upload workflows.

Training covers plugin setup, permission handling, cross platform differences, and compressing or transforming media before upload.

Students build flows for single and batch selection, cropping, and preparing multipart payloads optimized for network constraints.

Labs include error handling for denied permissions and fallback UX patterns for degraded environments.

Project reviews ensure students deliver polished, accessible file selection experiences

6) HTTP clients and upload libraries: http, dio, multipart, flutter_uploader

Reliable uploads require robust HTTP tooling; the course covers http and dio packages and multipart streaming for large files.

Students learn how to implement progress listeners, pause/resume, retries, and exponential backoff strategies in Flutter.

Hands on sessions demonstrate background uploads, queuing, and continuing transfers across connectivity changes.

Instructors show how to instrument uploads for observability and integrate with retry logic to maximize success rates.

Assessments test building end to end upload pipelines using these libraries

7) Storage and cache management: path_provider, flutter_cache_manager, hive/sqflite

Efficient apps cache temporary files and persist upload state; students are trained on local storage patterns using path_provider.

Course labs demonstrate using flutter_cache_manager for thumbnails and hive or sqflite for tracking pending uploads and metadata.

Exercises include cleanup policies, handling app restarts, and ensuring data integrity across interrupted transfers.

Students implement local first flows that sync with cloud storage once connectivity is available.

Certification tasks validate the ability to architect resilient, performant client side storage

8) Serverless and backend tools: AWS Lambda, Cloud Functions, API Gateway

Serverless backends support presigned URL generation, validation, and post processing hooks; the course teaches Lambda and Cloud Functions.

Students build simple serverless endpoints to issue presigned S3 URLs or validate uploads before promoting files in Firebase.

Modules cover API Gateway setup, CORS configuration, security hardening, and deployment practices for serverless functions.

Labs include wiring triggers for post upload processing like metadata extraction, virus scanning, or notification events.

Real world scenarios show how serverless components reduce operational overhead while supporting secure upload flows

Final projects are submitted via Git and validated through automated CI checks to mirror professional pipelines

12) Monitoring, observability and testing: Crashlytics/Sentry, CloudWatch, flutter_test, mockito

Keeping uploads reliable requires instrumentation and testing; students learn to integrate Crashlytics or Sentry and CloudWatch dashboards.

Course content covers unit, widget, and integration tests with flutter_test, and mocking external services using mockito.

Hands on tasks include adding upload telemetry, tracing latency issues, and triggering alerts for failed bulk uploads.

Students build test suites that simulate network failures, retries, and partial uploads to ensure production readiness.

Certification proves capability to monitor, test, and maintain robust upload systems in the field

13) Security and compliance tools: KMS, IAM, virus scanning, GDPR/CCPA practices

Protecting user data is a core focus; the course teaches AWS KMS for encryption at rest and IAM best practices for least privilege.

Students implement server side virus scanning hooks using Lambda and open source scanners, and learn to log access for audits.

Modules explain compliance considerations like GDPR/CCPA, retention policies, and secure deletion workflows for student projects.

Hands on scenarios require producing audit trails, encryption key rotation plans, and privacy focused architecture diagrams.

Graduates demonstrate the ability to design secure, compliant upload solutions suitable for enterprise and consumer apps

14) Project management and collaboration tools: Figma, Trello/Jira, Postman

Delivering production quality features needs team processes; the course introduces Figma for design handoff and Trello or Jira for task tracking.

Students use Postman to test APIs, validate presigned URL endpoints, and document backend contract expectations.

Collaborative assignments simulate real product cycles including design reviews, sprint planning, and code reviews using GitHub PRs.

Workshops focus on clear API contracts between Flutter clients and cloud services to reduce integration friction.

Completion certificates reflect both technical skill and demonstrated team collaboration on a real time upload project
