How-to Guides

Build something cool, add one adios.yaml, and skip the parts junior developers usually hate: Nginx, SSL certificates, EC2 dashboards, and mystery Linux commands.

These guides focus on apps that feel like superpowers: realtime dashboards, AI search, fast webhook APIs, cacheable documentation, and lean .NET services.

Real-time analytics dashboard

Node.js, Socket.io, Redis, and MongoDB for live visitor streams on a long-running runtime.

AI semantic search engine

FastAPI, Gemini embeddings, and Postgres pgvector without cold-start-heavy serverless glue.

Global Go webhook processor

A tiny compiled Go API for fast webhook ingestion and persistent SQL connection pools.

Modern PHP docs site

PHP, MySQL, Markdown rendering, and cache headers for fast dynamic documentation.

.NET crypto price ticker

A .NET Minimal API with Redis buffering and a deploy path that avoids IIS and Azure setup.

Set up domains and redirects

Attach a custom host to a runtime and redirect an apex domain to a canonical host.

Create a workflow from YAML

Write triggers and steps in a workflow manifest, then run or deploy it from the CLI.

Connect a database

Use managed Postgres with an application runtime and injected connection secrets.

Guide Pattern

When adding new guides, keep them task-focused:

Start with the user outcome.
List the generated files or framework commands.
Show the adios.yaml runtime or workflow manifest.
Add required secrets and managed resources.
Deploy, inspect logs, and show the follow-up workflow.

Good guide topics include SaaS dashboards, API backends, data ingestion jobs, scheduled reports, webhook automations, AI-assisted feature work, and production routing.
