From Idea to App: Understanding the Cloud Tools Behind Your Build

​Led by Keerthana Chandrashekar.

​Vibe coding makes it easier than ever to build an app. But once your app is built, what actually makes it run? Where does your data live? How does it get on the internet?

​This workshop answers those questions.

​We'll walk through the key tools and services that power modern apps, things like databases, hosting platforms, and code storage, and explain what each one does and why it matters. No coding, no technical setup. Just a clear, practical understanding of the landscape so you can make smarter decisions about your own projects.

​Note: This is not a how-to coding workshop. All experience levels welcome.
