Most people think “scaling a database” means you need some giant, complicated setup with a ton of servers. It’s not. There are a few core patterns, and every app grows by layering those same patterns. Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, serverless DBs — all the same fundamentals. video -> https://youtu.be/RFBynSmPxqk

Here are some of my notes… This community is hitting a new stride. The algo is clearly pushing hard right now, and I expect things to scale even faster from here. As more people join, I’ll keep answering as many questions as I can, but with one person behind all of this there’s a natural limit. We’re entering a phase where everyone helps everyone, and this is an open place to learn, share, and build together. A lot of you are here for different reasons. Some are chasing income, some are driven by passion, some feel that creative urge to build. I get all of it. What I can say is keep learning, because eventually the building process flips into something that feels like painting. You hit that obsessive flow state where nothing feels impossible. Here are my last notes. There’s a lot of negativity in the world, and as we grow larger there will be people who try to join this community to scam, lie, or create distrust. That’s a natural part of building anything great. The only real way to win in life is through positivity, support, and sharing ideas. Asking a question isn’t a sign of being dumb. It’s actually one of the strongest signs of intelligence. Ego can kill success. so why did you join?

Okay I've explored many vibe coding tools across bolt, lovable, warp (not really no code, but prompted the heck out agents), and cursor. Google AI Studio is the only platform that seems to get the vision I have despite my non-technical background and poor prompting skills. I spent the last two days building out a payroll and scheduling solution targeting small business owners, and I'm happy with how it's going so far. It's still far from finished but feel free to check it out. https://payflo-scheduling-payroll-business-owner-view-423711378919.us-west1.run.app/ The next tricky part is going to be exporting this out and connecting backend and payment system. @Corbin Brown I know you already have a video on this, but I haven't done this before and I'm little nervous can I reach out here if I need additional support? 😅

Hey builders! I'm a product designer who spent the last five years at a start-up but hasn’t built a single thing on my own. I'm embarrassed and ashamed, so I told myself that's going to change. So for the rest of the year and beyond, I'm focused on building. Looking forward to connecting with all of you!

The next episode in the Google AI Studio Vibe Coding Series is here! In this one, we’ll focus on defining and building your app’s core value — the feature that makes your idea truly stand out. We’re still building thumio.com, the AI editor for YouTube thumbnails (think Photoshop, rebuilt with AI). You’ll see how Google AI Studio helps shape product logic and flow before writing a single line of code. Watch here -> https://youtu.be/ECB3pBkYqz4
