Prototype to Production

You vibe-coded it.We make it real.

You built the prototype with AI. We audit it, harden it, and turn it into a product that survives real users and real data.

Audit, harden, launch. Each step ends in something written you can hold us to.

Inside Prototype to Production.

Six pieces of the engagement, one card at a time.

01 / 06

Prototype Audit

We read the code you shipped and map what is solid, what will break, and what launch actually needs. The findings come in writing, so you can act on them with or without us.

Start here

02 / 06

Security & Stability Hardening

Vibe-coded apps tend to trust every user, and real users will not return the favour. We fix logins, data handling and edge cases before someone hostile finds them for you.

Before users

03 / 06

Production Build-Out

We rebuild or refactor onto foundations that hold under real traffic and real data. You end up with one codebase a normal team can own, not a pile of generated files.

Load-bearing

04 / 06

Hosting & Launch

You go live with domains, environments, backups and monitoring already in place. When something breaks, an alert tells us before a customer tells you.

Day one

05 / 06

Feature Development

New features shipped at production quality, on a codebase built to take them. You keep prototype speed without prototype breakage.

Ship again

06 / 06

Ongoing Care

We stay on as the technical team behind your product, handling updates, fixes and small improvements as they come up. You run the business while the product stays healthy.

Stay on

From vibe-coded to bulletproof.

You built it in Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor and it works on your machine. This run gets it ready for everyone else: the audit names what is missing, then every finding is closed and written down.

Hardening run

Six findings from the prototype audit, closed in order.

Ready for real users

API keys shipped in the browser bundle

FixedMoved server-side and rotated.

API routes with no login check

FixedEvery route checks who is asking.

Database open to the internet

FixedPrivate network, one allowed caller.

No rate limits

FixedLimits per user and per IP address.

No backups

FixedNightly backups, restore tested.

No error tracking

FixedErrors reported, and an alert reaches us before a customer does.

Findings come to you in writing first, so you can act on them with us or without us.

Where a prototype usually breaks.

Pick an area. It shows what the build has today, what production needs instead, and the work that closes the gap.

A prototype usually has

  • API keys and secrets inside the browser bundle
  • API routes anyone can call without logging in
  • Passwords and sessions handled by hand-written code
  • No limit on how often anyone can call an endpoint

Production needs

  • Secrets kept server-side and rotated
  • Every route checks who is asking, and what they may do
  • Logins through an auth provider that is already tested
  • Rate limits, so one script cannot lock everyone out

What we do about it

  • Secrets moved out of the client bundle and rotated
  • Authentication on every API route, with roles where the product needs them
  • Rate limits per user and per IP address
  • A written list of what we found and what we changed

Part of Security & Stability Hardening

Worked example: this website.

It started as a Higgsfield-generated React 19 and TanStack Start prototype. Below is the part a generator does not do, done before the site went in front of a single client.

  • Videomoved to a CDN that answers HTTP range requests, because the host does not and Safari would otherwise stop at the poster frame
  • Iconsevery brand mark self-hosted from this domain instead of fetched from someone else's CDN on load
  • Structured dataOrganisation, WebSite, FAQ and Article markup rendered into the HTML, not injected later
  • Sitemapevery page listed, with article dates taken from the posts rather than from the last deploy
  • Errorsa failure the framework swallows into a blank 500 still reaches the log with its original stack
  • Legalprivacy and terms pages written for a Cyprus company, not copied from a template

Send us the build exactly as it is. The audit comes back in writing.

Works with your stack.

No rewrite for its own sake. We keep the tools your prototype already runs on and set up the ones it is missing.

  • GitHubCode and reviews
  • VercelHosting
  • RailwayApp hosting
  • CloudflareDNS and CDN
  • DockerContainers
  • SupabaseDatabase and auth
  • PostgreSQLDatabase
  • ClerkLogins
  • Auth0Authentication
  • StripePayments
  • SentryError tracking
  • ResendTransactional email
  • OpenAIAI models
  • ReplitPrototyping
  • CursorAI editor
  • NotionDocs and handover

How it works.

Three steps from prototype to product.

01

Audit the prototype

We map what is solid, what will break, and what launch actually needs.

02

Harden and rebuild

Logins, data handling and edge cases fixed, on foundations built for real traffic.

03

Launch and stay on

Domains, backups and monitoring set up properly, with us as your technical team.

Staying a prototype is a choice.

Send us the prototype. We will tell you what is solid, what will break, and what launch takes.

6 areas

Security, data, reliability, speed, cost and ownership, audited before anything is rebuilt.

1 codebase

Rebuilt or refactored into one codebase a normal team can own.

100%

Yours at handover: code, infrastructure and every account.

The audit is the first step, not a sales call.

More from the same team.

Every service is run by the Axenor Consulting team, so what we build and what we grow works from one plan.
