Ideogram Reference Architecture
Overview
Production architecture for AI image generation with Ideogram at scale. Covers prompt templating for brand consistency, generation pipelines using all six API endpoints, asset storage and CDN delivery, and metadata tracking for reproducibility.

Instructions
Step 1: Prompt Template System
interface PromptTemplate {
name : string ;
base : string ;
style : string ;
negativePrompt : string ;
aspectRatio : string ;
model : string ;
renderingSpeed ?: string ;
}
const BRAND_TEMPLATES : Record <string , PromptTemplate > = {
socialPost
name
"Social Media Post"
base
"{subject}, modern clean design, vibrant colors, professional"
style
"DESIGN"
negativePrompt
"blurry text, misspelled, watermark, low quality"
aspectRatio
"ASPECT_1_1"
model
"V_2"
blogHero
name
"Blog Hero Image"
base
"{subject}, editorial photography, wide composition, cinematic lighting"
style
"REALISTIC"
negativePrompt
"text overlay, watermark, blurry, oversaturated"
aspectRatio
"ASPECT_16_9"
model
"V_2"
storyVertical
name
"Story / Reel"
base
"{subject}, vertical composition, eye-catching, bold colors"
style
"DESIGN"
negativePrompt
"horizontal layout, small text, blurry"

Step 2: Generation Service import { writeFileSync, mkdirSync } from "fs" ;
import { join } from "path" ;
const API_KEY = process.env .IDEOGRAM_API_KEY !;
async function generateFromTemplate (
templateKey : string ,
vars : Record <string , string >,
outputDir = "./assets"
) {
const template = BRAND_TEMPLATES [templateKey];
const prompt = buildPrompt (templateKey, vars);
const response = await fetch ("https://api.ideogram.ai/generate" , {

return {

}
Step 3: Multi-Format Asset Pipeline import sharp from "sharp" ;
async function generateBrandAssetSet (subject : string , title : string const results = [];
for (const [key, template] of Object .entries (BRAND_TEMPLATES )) {
const asset = await generateFromTemplate (key, { subject, title });

.toFile (asset.localPath .replace (".png" , ".webp" ));
await new Promise (r =>setTimeout (r, 3000 ));
}
const manifest = results.map (r =>template : r.template ,
seed : r.seed ,
prompt : r.prompt ,
files : {
png : r.localPath ,
webp : r.localPath .replace (".png" , ".webp" ),
},
}));
writeFileSync ("./assets/manifest.json" , JSON .stringify (manifest, null , 2 ));
console .log (`Generated ${results.length} brand assets with manifest` );
return results;
}
Step 4: Describe-then-Remix Pipeline
async function referenceBasedGeneration (referenceImagePath : string , modifications : string const form1 = new FormData ();
form1.append ("image_file" , new Blob ([readFileSync (referenceImagePath)]));
form1.append ("describe_model_version" , "V_3" );
const descResp = await fetch ("https://api.ideogram.ai/describe" , {
method : "POST" ,
headers : { "Api-Key" : API_KEY },
body : form1,
});
const descriptions = await descResp.json ();
const basePrompt = descriptions.descriptions [0 ].text ;
const form2 = new FormData ();
form2.append ("image" , new Blob ([readFileSync (referenceImagePath)]));
form2.append ("prompt" , `${basePrompt} , ${modifications} ` );
form2.append ("image_weight" , "40" );
form2.append ("rendering_speed" , "DEFAULT" );
const remixResp = await fetch ("https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/ideogram-v3/remix" , {
method : "POST" ,
headers : { "Api-Key" : API_KEY },
body : form2,
});
return remixResp.json ();

Error Handling Issue Cause Solution Inconsistent style No template system Use branded prompt templates URL expired Late download Download in same function call Text misspelled Prompt too vague Use DESIGN style, quote exact text Wrong aspect ratio Template mismatch Map templates to target platforms
Output
Prompt template system for brand consistency
Generation service with auto-download
Multi-format asset pipeline (PNG + WebP)
Describe-then-remix pipeline for reference-based generation
Asset manifest for tracking and reproducibility

More from this repository langchain-deploy-integration Deploy a LangChain 1.0 / LangGraph 1.0 app to Cloud Run, Vercel, or LangServe correctly — with timeouts sized for chain length, cold-start mitigation, SSE anti-buffering headers, and Secret Manager over .env. Use when prepping a first production deploy, debugging a stream that hangs behind a proxy, or diagnosing p99 latency spikes. Trigger with "langchain deploy", "langchain cloud run", "langchain vercel python", "langchain langserve", or "langchain docker".
langchain-langgraph-agents Build a correct LangGraph 1.0 ReAct agent with create_react_agent — typed tools, error propagation, recursion caps, and stop conditions that actually stop. Use when writing a first tool-calling agent, migrating from AgentExecutor or initialize_agent, or diagnosing an agent that loops on vague prompts. Trigger with "langgraph agent", "create_react_agent", "langgraph tool calling", "AgentExecutor migration", or "agent loop cost".
langchain-langgraph-human-in-loop Build LangGraph 1.0 human-in-the-loop approval flows with interrupt_before /
interrupt_after and Command(resume=...) — JSON-serializable state, clean
resume semantics, and UI wiring for approval decisions. Use when adding an
approval gate before an expensive tool call, wiring a Slack/web UI for agent
approvals, or debugging a graph that crashes on interrupt.
Trigger with "langgraph human in loop", "langgraph interrupt_before",
"langgraph approval flow", "Command resume", "langgraph HITL".
