Build Tutorials

Project Initialization

Choose a stack, scaffold the directory, and make the first green build.

Monorepo Setup

Structure a pnpm/Turborepo workspace for apps + packages with shared build cache.

CI/CD Skeleton

Stand up a GitHub Actions pipeline that gates every PR on build + test + lint.

Environment Config

Load, validate, and layer env vars so the app fails fast on missing config.

Lint Setup

Configure ESLint + Prettier + TypeScript strict so style and type errors are caught pre-commit.

Git Workflow

Pick a branching model and commit convention that scales from solo to team.

Docker Starter

Write a multi-stage Dockerfile that produces a small, cacheable production image.

IaC Starter

Define your cloud infra in Terraform/Pulumi so environments are reproducible and disposable.

API Integration

Call an external REST/GraphQL API with typed clients, retries, and rate-limit handling.

Third-Party Auth

Integrate auth providers (Auth0, Clerk, NextAuth) without rolling your own session crypto.

Payment Integration

Accept payments via Stripe/RevenueCat with idempotency, webhook verification, and reconciliation.

Webhook Setup

Receive and reliably process webhooks with signature verification, idempotency, and dead-letter queues.

OAuth 2.0 Flow

Implement the authorization-code flow with PKCE for secure third-party API access.

SSO Configuration

Set up SAML/OIDC single sign-on for enterprise customers with just-in-time provisioning.

Data Sync

Keep two systems in sync with change-data-capture, conflict resolution, and backfill.

Event Bridge

Connect services with an event bus (Kafka/NATS/EventBridge) for decoupled, replayable communication.

Figma to Code

Convert Figma frames into React components without losing the design intent.

Design Token Pipeline

Build a CI pipeline that transforms tokens from Figma into CSS/Tailwind/iOS/Android formats.

Component Generation

Scaffold new UI components with the right structure, tests, and Storybook stories from a template.

Storybook Sync

Keep Storybook stories in sync with components and deploy a living design system docs site.

Responsive Translation

Translate Figma's responsive variants (mobile/tablet/desktop) into Tailwind breakpoints accurately.

Animation Handoff

Translate Figma Smart Animate / Lottie specs into Framer Motion or CSS animations in code.

Icon System

Build a tree-shakeable icon system with SVG optimization, consistent sizing, and accessibility.

Theme Bridge

Bridge design-system themes (light/dark/brand) to code with CSS variables and a theme provider.

Fullstack Wiring

Connect the frontend, API, and database so a button click round-trips to the DB and back.

Database Setup

Set up Postgres with migrations, seeding, and connection pooling for local + prod.

API Contract

Define a versioned API contract with OpenAPI/zod that both client and server consume.

State Management

Choose the right state strategy — server state vs client state — without over-engineering.

Routing Setup

Configure file-based routing with layouts, nested routes, and typed params.

Form Pipeline

Build forms with schema validation, accessible inputs, and progressive enhancement.

Error Boundary

Add error boundaries and a global error handler so crashes show a recovery path, not a white screen.

Deployment Prep

Prepare the app for production: build optimization, env vars, health checks, and rollback.

Debug Strategy

Adopt a reproducible method (bisect, isolate, hypothesis) instead of trial-and-error tweaking.

Logging Setup

Install structured logging with levels, request IDs, and correlation context from day one.

Source Map

Generate and upload source maps so production stack traces point at your original TypeScript.

Performance Profiling

Measure before optimizing — find the actual bottleneck with a profiler, not a guess.

Memory Leak

Detect and fix memory leaks with heap snapshots and retention-path analysis before they OOM in prod.

Race Condition

Find and fix concurrency bugs with deterministic reproduction, not luck.

Network Debug

Debug HTTP/CORS/WebSocket issues by reading the actual request and response, not the code that generates them.
