Vibe-coded app to productionYour Lovable, Bolt or Replit app works.
Let’s make it safe to launch.

A senior developer audits the app your AI tool generated, fixes security, data and money-math, and rebuilds only what won’t survive real users — so you keep your momentum without shipping a liability.

Who it’s for

For AI-built apps that are about to meet real users — and real money.

Apps that take paymentsSubscriptions, marketplaces and anything touching Stripe or balances.
Apps holding sensitive dataFinancial, property, health or customer data that must stay private.
Apps about to raise or launchInvestors or customers are about to look closely.
Apps with growing AI billsEvery request calls a model, even when simple rules would do.
Sound familiar?

AI-built apps break in the same predictable places.

“It works… mostly.”The happy path is fine; edge cases fail in ways you can’t explain.
“Every prompt breaks something else.”Fixing one bug with the AI tool quietly rewrites another feature.
“Nobody has checked security.”Database rules, permissions and exposed keys were never reviewed.
“The totals are slightly off.”Rounding and floating-point errors creep into prices and balances.
“It gets slow with real data.”Fine with 10 records, painful with 10,000.
“AI costs keep climbing.”Model calls on every request, with no caching or rules first.
What’s included

The production-readiness checklist

These are the checks that matter most before launch.

01

Database access rules

Row-level security and permissions so users only see their own data.

02

Secrets & API keys

Keys moved out of the browser and rotated; environment config fixed.

03

Authentication & roles

Login, password reset, sessions and admin routes locked down.

04

Payments & webhooks

Stripe webhooks verified, idempotent, and reconciled to your records.

05

Money & data correctness

Exact decimals, validation and consistent rounding rules.

06

Performance at real scale

Indexes, pagination and queries that hold up with real data.

07

AI cost & reliability

Rules first, AI second; caching, limits and fallbacks.

08

Tests, backups & monitoring

Tests on critical flows, backups you’ve restored, and error alerts.

Proof · nestper · Real-estate · AI

An AI deal-finder that ran at roughly 75% lower cost than the original approach.

A founder wanted to surface promising real-estate deals from a constant stream of listings — and the early version was expensive to run.

FAQ

Vibe-Coded App to Production: common questions

Yes. I work with the code these tools generate — typically React or Next.js on the front end with Supabase, Firebase or a Node/Python backend — and keep it in your repository.

Usually not. The audit marks each part keep, fix or rebuild. Most apps keep their UI and core flows; the fixes go into security, data and money handling.

It starts with an audit and Build Plan (from $500, credited in full if we continue). You then get a fixed quote based on what the audit finds — no open-ended hourly billing.

Yes, with guardrails. I’ll show you which parts are safe to keep prompting and which should only change through reviewed code.

That’s my specialty — I build fintech and real-estate products where the numbers have to reconcile exactly.

You do. Everything stays in your repository and accounts.
