Backend Unlocked: Auth, Security & Workflows for AI-First Builders

You can build a beautiful frontend. You can ship a prototype. But the moment you add real users, sensitive data, and automated workflows — the backend becomes everything.

This workshop is built for vibe coders who are ready to level up. We’re pulling back the curtain on the backend concepts that separate hobby projects from production-ready apps, and we’re making them approachable without dumbing them down.

What we’ll cover:
∙ Auth that actually works — understanding OAuth, JWT, and sessions from the ground up; how login flows work under the hood, what tokens really are, and how to implement auth correctly from day one using modern tools
∙ Row-level security & permissions — how to lock down your data so users only ever see what they’re supposed to; practical patterns using Supabase’s RLS that save you from catastrophic data leaks
∙ Database security with Supabase & Postgres — structuring your database with security in mind, avoiding common misconfigurations, and building a data layer you can trust
∙ API design & security best practices — how to design APIs that are clean, predictable, and hardened against the most common vulnerabilities builders accidentally introduce
∙ Automated workflows & background jobs — building the backend logic that runs while your users sleep; triggers, queues, scheduled jobs, and event-driven workflows that power real products

This isn’t just theory. We’ll walk through real patterns, live code, and the decisions you’ll face building your own apps — with AI tools in hand the whole way.

Who should attend:
Vibe coders and AI-first builders who are comfortable shipping frontends but want to build backends they can actually trust. If you’ve ever wondered “is this secure?” or “how do I add real auth?” — this session is for you.

Bring your laptop. It’s time to own the full stack.
