How Our AI Agents Built This Blog (Meta)
The Challenge
We needed a blog for ailab.ph to share technical insights, but I didn't want to spend weeks building a CMS.
The Solution: Kafra in Action
I fed our AI orchestration system (Kafra) a detailed specification:
- Cloudflare Pages Functions + D1
- PBKDF2 authentication
- Server-side rendering
- Admin panel with live preview
The Process: 6 Milestones to Production
Kafra broke down the blog system into 6 sequential milestones:
Milestone 1: Database Schema & Project Config
- Created D1 database with proper schema (admins, posts tables)
- Set up wrangler.toml with Cloudflare bindings
- Built seed script for admin user creation with PBKDF2 hashing
Milestone 2: Auth API & Middleware
- Implemented PBKDF2 password hashing with Web Crypto API
- Built JWT token system for session management
- Created scoped middleware for API protection
Milestone 3: Posts CRUD API
- Server-side markdown rendering with XSS prevention
- Slug-based routing with conflict detection
- Publishing workflow with proper timestamp handling
Milestone 4: Blog Pages (Server-Side Rendered)
- Public blog listing and single-post views
- Full HTML rendering that works without JavaScript
- Mobile-responsive design matching ailab.ph aesthetic
Milestone 5: Admin Panel
- Authentication-gated admin interface
- Live markdown preview with the same renderer
- Post management (create, edit, delete, publish/unpublish)
Milestone 6: Local Dev & Final Validation
- Complete local development setup with wrangler
- End-to-end testing of all workflows
- Production deployment and documentation
Each milestone had specific deliverables and validation criteria. The system wouldn't proceed to the next milestone until all requirements were met.
The Result
Production-ready blog system in 2 hours. You're reading this on it.
What This Demonstrates
This is what AI orchestration looks like when you need it to actually work.
