Vibe coding is changing how software is built. It’s not about meticulously crafting every line of code—it’s about letting AI do the heavy lifting while you guide the direction.

In this guide, we’ll build a dynamic image processing API using Node.js and Sharp. This API will be capable of resizing, cropping, and adding custom branding elements (e.g., headers and footers) to images, ensuring they meet a consistent, standardized output format.

Managing SEO metadata like titles and descriptions is a critical part of optimizing your WordPress site for search engines.

Developing Node.js applications can sometimes become tricky due to varying environments and dependencies. Docker simplifies this by containerizing your applications, ensuring consistent environments from development to deployment.

Docker Compose provides a powerful way to run n8n with custom configurations and additional NPM modules. This guide will walk you through setting up a production-ready n8n instance using Docker Compose, complete with custom modules and advanced configurations.

n8n is an advanced, open-source workflow automation tool designed to facilitate rapid prototyping and streamlined automation of various development processes. Think of it as an open-source, self hosted alternative to Zapier.
