Built your app with Lovable, Bolt or Cursor? Read this before launch.
AI got you to a working app in a weekend. That part is real.
What it usually doesn't do is make the app safe for real users. Here are 5 things we keep finding in AI-built apps:
1️⃣ API keys sitting in the frontend code. Anyone can open DevTools and copy them. 2️⃣ Login is checked in the browser only. Skip the page and you're in. 3️⃣ No rate limits. One bot can run up your Supabase or OpenAI bill overnight. 4️⃣ No backups. One bad "AI fix" and your users' data is gone. 5️⃣ Fine at 50 users, down at 5,000.Built your app with Lovable, Bolt or Cursor? Read this before launch.

None of these show up in a demo. You find out from your first angry customer, or your first big bill.
You don't need to start over. Keep what works and harden what breaks.
We've done this at scale: an EdTech platform taken from 20K to 250K daily users, 10M+ requests a minute, zero downtime through three migrations.
👇 Comment "CHECK" or DM me your app link. I'll reply with the first thing likely to break. Free, no pitch.
