Hackathon Workshop — Infra by Graeme

Infrastructure Setup

A reference architecture you can reuse, and a live deploy from empty repo to production.

In the Infrastructure Setup workshop, Graeme covers:

• A reference architecture you can reuse — server on Vercel, database on Neon, auth on Clerk, and how the three fit together.
• Branching to test changes safely — spinning up isolated copies of your environment before anything touches real users.
• Why database migrations matter — the discipline that keeps your local schema and production schema from drifting apart.

Then a live walkthrough: deploying a project to production end to end, closing with best practices for larger projects using infrastructure-as-code.
