Prototype to production

Built it with AI? Let’s make it real.

AI app builders get you a working demo in days. Paying customers need login that holds, data that stays private, payments that reconcile and an app that doesn’t fall over at 500 users. We fix that part in two to three weeks.

The 10-point production check.

We run this on every AI-built app before launch. In most prototypes, about half of these fail.

  1. 01 Database access rulesUsers can only see their own records.
  2. 02 SecretsNo private keys in the browser or the repository.
  3. 03 Sign-inVerified email, safe password reset, sessions that expire.
  4. 04 PermissionsAdmin actions checked on the server, not just hidden in the interface.
  5. 05 ValidationEvery form and endpoint checks its input.
  6. 06 PaymentsWebhooks verified and reconciled.
  7. 07 Data modelMigrations and backups you have tested.

Questions, answered.

Do I have to stop using the AI builder?

No. We document which parts are safe to keep editing with the builder and which should change only through code review.

Should I rebuild instead?

Usually not. Most prototypes have a good interface and a fragile backend, so hardening is cheaper. We recommend a rebuild only when the data model can’t support where the product is going.

What do you need from me?

Access to the code or project, the database, and a list of the three flows your users rely on most.
