The AI Orchestrated Backend
In this video you'll build the entire backend for Havenique Hotel & Suites — database, API, authentication, security, and all frontend connections — without writing a single line of backend code manually.
This is Module 06 of the Zero to Production course: the AI-Orchestrated Backend.
What you'll set up in this module:
▸ Install Codex and Kilo Code as VSCode extensions — two AI coding agents, each with a different strength
▸ Create four free accounts: GitHub, OpenAI, Kilo Code, and Supabase
▸ Understand why Codex Skills are the most powerful concept in this entire course — write the brief once, never repeat yourself
▸ Set up 10 global specialist skills inside Codex: Frontend Architect, Backend Engineer, Database Specialist, QA Specialist, Web Security Specialist, SEO Specialist, Deployment Specialist, Code Reviewer, Performance Engineer, and API Architect
▸ Connect Supabase to Codex via MCP (Model Context Protocol) — Codex talks directly to your live database
▸ Upload the project and send one master prompt that builds the complete backend across four phases
What Codex builds from that one prompt:
✓ Full Supabase schema — 9 tables with RLS policies, indexes, and Supabase Auth configured
✓ 20 rooms seeded across 4 wings with exact Naira prices
✓ Atomic availability engine to prevent double-bookings
✓ Node.js/Express API — all endpoints secured, rate-limited, and documented
✓ React frontend wired to real data — no mock data remaining
✓ Postman collection generated for immediate testing
Tools used (all free):
VSCode · Codex (OpenAI) · Kilo Code · GitHub · Supabase
Zero to Production is a practical course teaching you how to build and ship full-stack web applications using only free AI tools. The capstone project is Havenique Hotel & Suites — a 4-star boutique hotel booking platform built from scratch, from PRD to live production URL.
