Prototype to Production
You built it with AI. We make it secure, reliable and ready for real customers - and stay with you as it grows.
Overview
AI coding tools like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit and Claude Code have made it possible for anyone to build a working app in a weekend. That's genuinely exciting - but a demo that works is not the same as a product you can safely put in front of paying customers.
We meet founders every month who are stuck in the same loop: burning evenings and AI credits prompting fixes that break something else, unsure whether customer data is actually safe, afraid to deploy on a Friday, and watching hosting and API bills climb. The app is 80% there. The last 20% - security, infrastructure, reliability - is where AI tools struggle most, and where mistakes are most expensive.
That last 20% is what we do. Our engineers audit what you've built, fix the risks that matter, put professional DevOps in place and give you a clear plan for the future. We keep what works - there's no need to throw your code away - and we stay on as your long-term technical partner, so you can keep building with confidence rather than crossing your fingers.
Who it's for
Vibe coders & solo founders
You have built something people want with AI tools, and now need it to be safe and dependable.
Non-technical founders
You have an AI-built MVP but no engineer to tell you whether it is ready for customers - or what to do next.
Start-ups preparing to raise
Investors increasingly ask about security and code quality. Get ahead of technical due diligence.
SMEs with AI-built internal tools
A team member built a useful tool with AI. Make sure it is secure and supported before the business depends on it.
What's included.
The building blocks of our Prototype to Production service - each one tailored to how your business works.
Security audit & hardening
We find and fix what AI tools commonly miss: exposed API keys, missing access controls, database rules left open, unvalidated inputs and vulnerable dependencies - checked against the OWASP Top 10.
Code review & stabilisation
Untangle AI-generated code, remove duplication and dead ends, and add automated tests so every new change stops breaking the old ones.
DevOps & CI/CD
Separate test and live environments, automated deployments in minutes and one-click rollbacks - so releasing a change is routine, not a risk.
Hosting, scaling & cost control
Move to infrastructure that can handle real traffic, and bring runaway cloud and AI API bills under control.
Monitoring, backups & recovery
Know about problems before your customers do, with error alerts, uptime monitoring and tested backups of your data.
Technical partner & roadmap
Architecture decisions, UK GDPR guidance and a realistic technical roadmap - the senior engineering judgement of a CTO, without the full-time hire.
From first call to live - without the risk.
Every engagement starts small, so you see results before you commit.
Production readiness audit
A fixed-price review of your code, security, infrastructure and running costs, with a plain-English report ranking every risk by severity.
Stabilise the critical risks
We fix the issues that could leak data or take you offline first, so you can keep trading while we improve the rest.
Make it production-grade
Automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, proper environments, monitoring and backups - the foundations every professional product runs on.
Partner for the long term
Ongoing support, security updates and a shared roadmap. Keep building with your AI tools, with our engineers reviewing and guiding what ships.
Questions we're often asked.
Straight answers about prototype to production - no jargon.
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is building software by describing what you want to an AI tool, such as Cursor, Lovable or Claude Code, rather than writing the code yourself. It is a fast way to create prototypes, but the output often needs professional review before it is safe for real users.
Is my AI-built app secure enough to launch?
Often not yet. AI tools commonly leave API keys exposed, skip access controls or leave database rules open. A production readiness audit tells you exactly what needs fixing before customers or their data are at risk.
Do I have to throw away the code I built with AI?
Usually not. We keep what works, fix what is risky and restructure only where it is needed, so you protect the time and money you have already invested.
Can I keep using AI tools after you get involved?
Yes. We set up guardrails such as code review, automated tests and deployment pipelines, so you can keep building quickly with AI while our engineers make sure what ships is safe.
How much does a production readiness audit cost?
The audit is fixed-price, agreed up front, so you know the cost before we start. You then decide what to fix, and in what order, based on a clear report.
Why a long-term partner rather than a one-off fix?
Security and reliability are ongoing: dependencies need updating, threats change and your product keeps growing. A long-term partner keeps it safe and gives you senior technical advice whenever you need it.
