🎬 Building a .NET 8 Web API + GitHub Actions CI/CD — Vibe Coding Ep.1

🔥 Welcome to the first episode of Vibe Coding with Mani!

In this real-world coding session, we:

  • Build a modern .NET 8 Web API
  • Use Entity Framework Core to connect to a SQL Server (running in Docker)
  • Set up a GitHub Actions workflow to automate build & deployment

No boring walkthroughs. No scripts. Just pure development vibes — experimenting, debugging, and building like a real dev.

Did you stick with .NET 8 for purposeful reasons? I'm curious about using AI anything with a version of .NET that was initially released (in preview) right about the same time as chatgpt. Very interesting! Hope to hear your input.
