Taking a Bolt app to production: the five things I check first.
1. Row-level security, if it runs on Supabase. The anon key ships in every copy of your front end, by design. RLS is all that stands between that key and your tables. I sign in as a second test user and try to read the first one's rows.
2. Public prefixes. In a Vite build, anything named VITE_ ends up in the browser. If a service-role, Stripe or OpenAI secret is in there, rotate it and move the call to a server function.
3. Who decides someone has paid. If the success page flips the plan, opening that address is enough. Signed Stripe webhooks should decide.
4. One database for everything. If previews and tests point at production, every test click is a real row.
5. A restore nobody has tried. Backups on is not backups that work.
None of this means the app is bad. Bolt got you to real users. This is the part a demo never shows.
The full list, 62 checks with how to test each one, is free here: https://contra.com/products/cTLDQhiJ-the-ship-check-list-what-to-check-before-real-users-pay
Which of the five would you check first on yours?

Historical monitoring data for analyzing network behavior over time
Live WebSocket communication for continuously updated monitoring data
Network controls to start and stop monitoring directly from the dashboard
Interactive charts and visualizations for easier interpretation of
network metrics
Responsive dashboard UI designed for clear monitoring rather than unnecessary complexity
FastAPI backend providing REST APIs and WebSocket communication
React frontend with a modern monitoring-focused interface
Why I built it
The goal was to create a practical campus network monitoring system that demonstrates how real-time networking data can be collected, processed, and presented through a modern web interface.
cool project bro. live data + history in one place is useful. how do you handle reconnecting when the websocket drops?
