In this video, we dive deep into the world of "Vibe Coding" to see if we can build a production-grade Airbnb database architecture. We specifically focus on the Hotel entity and its sub-entity, Location, implementing full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality. Using a modern stack featuring Python, FastAPI, and SQLModel, we explore how to bridge the gap between AI-driven development and solid software engineering principles. We start by defining our data models with SQLModel, ensuring that the relationship between Hotels and Locations is robust and scalable. You will learn how to set up your FastAPI environment, define schemas, and use AI coding assistants to generate boilerplate and logic while maintaining control over the architecture. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand backend development or an experienced dev curious about the "Vibe Coding" workflow, this tutorial covers the nuances of handling sub-entities, foreign keys, and API endpoints. We also discuss the pros and cons of relying on AI for complex database structures and how to debug the "vibes" when things do not go as planned. Join us as we build the backbone of an Airbnb clone, demonstrating the power of SQLModel for database interactions and FastAPI for high-performance web APIs.
