Your vibe-coded app is a bigger risk than it looks

2,000+
high-impact vulnerabilities found across 5,600 live vibe-coded apps
400+
exposed secrets, including API and payment keys

Customer data is exposed

AI builders ship with open database rules, so any user can read records that belong to someone else.

Keys and credentials are public

API and payment keys sit in code any visitor can download, giving outsiders access to your accounts and your bills.

New features break existing ones

The AI rewrites working code to add something new, and regressions reach customers before you see them.

Revenue leaks unnoticed

Declined cards, refunds and webhook failures go unhandled, so payments and records drift apart.

One bad release can take you offline

Without tests, backups or rollback, a single mistake can take down the app and its data.

AI costs are uncapped

Without spend limits, a bug or a bad actor can drive up your model costs overnight.

Vibe code to production services

Six services cover everything between a vibe-coded prototype and production software. Your readiness review decides which ones your app needs and in what order.

Security hardening

We close the gaps that expose your users' data.

Database access rules per user and per customer
Secrets moved server-side, vaulted and rotated
Auth and permission checks on the server
Dependency and vulnerability scanning

Two ways we take your app to production

Both run in one-week sprints, with a release to production every week.

Parallel track

You keep building in your AI tool. We set up a separate production track and harden it every week.

Your features merge into our track every week
Each weekly release ships to production tested
Your roadmap never pauses
Start a parallel track

Full takeover

Hand us the codebase from your AI tool, a freelancer or a previous vendor. We own engineering from there.

We take over code, infrastructure and roadmap delivery
Knowledge transfer and stabilization in the first weeks
One team accountable for every release
Hand over your codebase

Lovable to production, Replit to production and every AI builder in between

Each builder leaves different gaps. Pick yours to see what we harden first.

Claude Code to production

We wrap a capable agent in written specs, review gates and tests that prove each change.

Claude Code to production
Written specs for every feature before code is generated
Review gates so no change merges unreviewed
Tests that prove each change works

Vibe code to production FAQ

01

Is a vibe-coded app production ready?

Rarely as built. Vibe-coded apps usually work for a demo and leave gaps in data access, secrets, payments and testing. They become production ready once those are hardened and verified.

02

Do we have to rebuild the app?

Most apps are hardened in place and keep the product you designed. If one part needs rebuilding, the readiness review tells you which part and why before any work starts.

03

Can we keep building while you work?

Yes. Our engineers run a parallel production track and merge your new features into every weekly release.

04

Can you take over the app completely?

Yes. We can take over the codebase from your AI tool, a freelancer or a previous vendor, stabilize it in the first weeks and run engineering from there.

05

How long does it take?

The readiness review takes the first week. The first hardened release ships to production at the end of week two, and something new ships every week after that.

06

Who owns the code?

You do, along with every account, credential and document we create.
