The stuff nobody
tells you.
Hosting, security and the unglamorous last 20%. Everything you hit when a vibe-coded demo meets real users, written by the engineers who fix it.
How to deploy a vibe-coded app to production: the checklist
The exact list we run before we call any app "live": auth, secrets, row-level security, environments, backups and monitoring. Steal it.
// hostingThe $0 stack for hosting a vibe-coded app
You can host a real, secure app for nothing until you have users. Here's the exact free-tier stack we start people on.
// testingWhy AI-generated code needs a test to trust it
The AI writes code that looks right and runs once. A test is how you know it still works after the next prompt. Where to start.
// security5 security holes in every vibe-coded app (and how to fix them)
Exposed keys, open databases, missing auth, no rate limits, leaky errors. The five gaps we find almost every time, in plain English.

The one database setting that decides whether user A can read user B's data. What it is, why it matters, and how to switch it on.

They all get you to a demo fast. They fail in different places when it's time to ship. A plain-English comparison.
// reliabilityWhy your vibe-coded app breaks with real users
The demo works because you were the only user. Real traffic finds the auth gaps, the race conditions and the silent failures.

Describe what you want, an AI writes the app. What that gets you, what it quietly skips, and where the last 20% hides.
