Blog Engine — Zig · Postgres

The blog engine in Zig — std.http, pg.zig, and a hand-rolled HS256.

The most bare-metal member of the series: Zig's std.http.Server, pg.zig for Postgres, argon2 from std.crypto.pwhash, and a small self-contained HS256 JWT implementation — no framework anywhere, compiled to a fully static binary on a distroless image. The same eight endpoints as every sibling, in a codebase you can read top to bottom in one sitting.

What's inside

• Full CRUD + publish flow for markdown posts
• Local auth: users table, argon2, hand-rolled HS256 JWT
• Drop-in Clerk & Auth0 JWT verifier examples
• pg.zig — direct Postgres, no ORM
• schema.sql applied on startup
• compose stack — Postgres state in ./data, healthchecked
