FROM PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION
For builders who ship

You built it. Now let’s make it production-ready.

We harden what needs fixing, build the backend infrastructure your app was built without, and audit everything to make sure it's fit for real users, real data, and real consequences.

The reality

AI coding tools are extraordinary at building things that work. Production is a different standard.

Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, v0, and Claude have changed what’s possible for a single builder in a weekend. The apps they produce are often genuinely impressive — working UI, connected APIs, real data flowing through.

What they reliably produce alongside that: hardcoded secrets, no authentication, client-side logic that should be server-side, databases that aren’t databases, no input validation, no audit trail, no backup, no monitoring.

None of that matters when you’re proving a concept. All of it matters the moment a real user touches the app, a real client asks about security, or an investor asks if it can scale.

The gap between a working prototype and a production application is real. It’s also smaller than most people expect — when you know exactly what it contains.

Common issues

The most common issues in vibe-coded apps

These appear in nearly every prototype we audit — and a scanner alone won't fix them.

Exposed secrets
API keys, database credentials, and tokens hardcoded in source or committed to git
Anyone with repo access — or a git history search — can access your services
No authentication
Routes and APIs accessible without login, or auth logic running client-side only
Any user can access any data, including other users'
Input validation gaps
User input passed directly to queries, commands, or APIs without sanitization
SQL injection, command injection, and XSS attacks become trivial
Missing environment separation
Production credentials used in development, single environment for all contexts
A dev mistake reaches real users and real data
No audit logging
No record of who did what and when in the application
Impossible to investigate incidents, meet compliance requirements, or debug production issues
Fragile data layer
SQLite, localStorage, or in-memory storage doing the job of a production database
Data loss on restart, no concurrent user support, no backup or recovery path

Three ways to work with us

Start where you are. Each product is complete and useful on its own.

Vibe Code Audit
A structured security and architecture review of your existing app. Delivers a written report covering every identified vulnerability by severity, with a prioritized remediation roadmap.
$1,500–$3,000
flat fee
  • Pre-audit intake call (30 minutes)
  • Full codebase and configuration review
  • Written report within 5 business days
  • Every finding by severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • 30-minute debrief call
Most Popular
Hardening Sprint
Implements the critical and high-severity findings from your Audit. Secrets management, authentication, input validation, CORS, API security, environment separation.
$4,500–$8,000
flat fee
  • All Critical and High findings resolved
  • Secrets migration to environment variables
  • Authentication hardening
  • Input validation across attack surfaces
  • Post-implementation verification
  • Audit fee credited in full
Backend Build
Designs and builds the production backend your app needs — database, API layer, authentication system, hosting infrastructure, CI/CD, backup, monitoring.
Scoped
per engagement
  • Database architecture and migration
  • API layer design and security
  • Authentication system build
  • Hosting infrastructure and CI/CD
  • Monitoring, alerting, and backups
  • Operational documentation
Process
How it works

A defined process keeps scope clear and results predictable.

1
Audit
We review your codebase, architecture, and configuration against a structured checklist. Every finding is categorized by severity. You receive a written report with a clear prioritized remediation roadmap.
2
Harden
Based on the Audit findings, we implement the fixes. Scope is confirmed and priced before work begins. No open-ended billing. No surprises.
3
Build
If your app needs a production backend — a real database, proper API layer, hosted infrastructure — we scope and build it. You get a system that can handle real users, real load, and real consequences.
