  1. mux

    Discontinued A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍

    Given my experience with Go, I asked Claude 3.7 Sonnet to create all the backend API routes and logic using Go and the Gorilla Mux framework. 🚀 This allowed me to leverage my existing knowledge and skills while still benefiting from the efficiency and accuracy of vibe coding.

  3. terraform

    Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

    Claude also created the IAC for deploying the app on Hetzner, using Terraform as the configuration tool. I only had to provide my Hetzner API key for VPS resource provisioning and my Cloudflare API key for domain name DNS entry management. 🌐

  4. flow-pipeline

    A set of tools and examples to run a flow-pipeline (sFlow, NetFlow)

  5. prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

    Lastly, I utilized Claude 3.7's extensive thinking capabilities to implement metrics and monitoring for my application. Claude helped me set up Prometheus on the VPS to collect metrics and Grafana for visualization and monitoring. 📈 This enabled me to gain valuable insights into my application's performance and make data-driven decisions to improve it.

  6. Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

    Docker Official Image packaging for golang

  8. Bootstrap

    The most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.

    For the frontend, I had no prior experience, so I relied entirely on Claude's capabilities. 🙏 Claude generated the entire frontend in pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and even added Bootstrap to it. This not only saved me a significant amount of time but also made my application responsive and visually appealing.
