Work Break
Work Break

I just integrated Google Calendar sync into my app WorkBreak 🎉

Now users can:

✅ Sync meetings directly from Google Calendar
✅ View upcoming events inside the planner
✅ Manage breaks + meetings in one place
✅ Stay focused without switching tabs constantly

One interesting challenge was handling Google OAuth properly in production with AWS Lambda + NestJS. Things worked locally but production introduced issues like:

OAuth callback problems
Random 500 errors
Google 403 permission issues
Proxy handling behind API Gateway

After debugging for hours, fixes like enabling trust proxy, proper callback URLs, and adjusting serverless handling finally made everything stable.

Still improving the experience, but excited to ship this 🚀
