Take Your Vibe-Coded MVP to Production
We take a Lovable, Bolt.new, or Replit prototype and make it secure, scalable, and production-ready: fixing auth, the data model, security gaps, and deployment, then adding the tests and CI/CD a prototype never had. It starts as fixed scope and can move to an ongoing subscription afterward.
What “vibe-coded” usually means in practice
Tools like Lovable, Bolt.new, and Replit are genuinely good at getting an idea into something clickable fast. What they're not built for is the part that comes after: real user accounts, data that has to survive concurrent writes, security that holds up to more than a friendly audience, and a deployment process someone other than the original builder can run. None of that is a knock on the prototype — it did its job, which was proving the idea, not surviving production.
How we approach it
An audit first: what's actually broken or risky versus what's just unfamiliar to us. Then fixes in priority order — authentication and security gaps first, since those are the ones that can actually hurt you, followed by the data model and deployment work, then tests and CI/CD so the next change doesn't require another audit. We don't default to a rewrite; most prototypes are closer to production-ready than they look, once the right pieces are hardened.
A sample timeline by plan
40 hrs / month
An audit and the critical fixes: authentication, obvious security gaps, and the data model issues that would break under real users.
80 hrs / month
Full production hardening — security, scalability, tests, and CI/CD — for an app ready to take on real traffic.
160 hrs / month
Hardening plus new feature work in parallel, for a prototype that needs to become a real product fast.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What usually breaks when a vibe-coded app meets real users?
Authentication built for a demo, not real accounts. A data model that doesn't hold up under concurrent writes. No tests, so every change risks breaking something that worked yesterday. Deployment that depends on one person's machine.
Do you work with apps built in Lovable, Bolt, or Replit specifically?
Yes, and most of what we do applies across all three: the underlying problems — auth, data model, security, deployment, testing — are similar regardless of which tool generated the first version.
Will you rewrite the whole app?
Not by default. We audit first and fix what's actually broken or risky, rather than throwing away a working prototype. A full rebuild only happens if the audit genuinely calls for it.
What does production-ready actually include?
Real authentication, a data model that holds up under load, the security basics (input validation, access control, secrets handled properly), automated tests, and CI/CD so deployment isn't a manual, risky step.
Is this a one-time project or an ongoing engagement?
It starts as a fixed-scope project. Many clients move to a subscription afterward for ongoing feature work and maintenance, but there's no obligation to.
