Vibe Coding
to Production
That Scales
You built it with Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Bolt or Lovable. It works. Now make it production-ready, secure, tested, properly architected and deployed to infrastructure you own. CV Infotech bridges the gap.
Vibe Coding Has Changed Software Development, Production Still Requires Engineering
The term "vibe coding", building software by describing what you want to an AI and iterating on its output, emerged in 2025 as a description of a practice that millions of developers, founders and product people were already doing. Tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Bolt and Lovable have genuinely democratised software creation in a way that rivals what Wix and Squarespace did for website creation.
The gap between "this prototype works" and "this is ready for production" is the gap CV Infotech fills. Vibe-coded applications are optimised for speed of creation and functional demonstration. Production applications are optimised for security, reliability, maintainability and the ability to evolve over time as a team. Bridging that gap requires checking the actual implementation against agreed product and release requirements.
We work with code generated by any AI coding tool: Replit Agent, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Bolt, Lovable and anything else. The tech stack generated determines the productionisation approach, the category of problems is identical regardless of which AI tool wrote the code.
Every AI Tool, Every Tech Stack
We productionise applications generated by Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Bolt, Lovable, Replit Agent, Vercel v0, Windsurf and any other AI coding assistant. The productionisation methodology adapts to the specific stack, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, whatever the AI generated.
Security Before Features, Always
We will not add features to an insecure codebase. Week 1 is always security: exposed secrets rotated, injection vulnerabilities fixed, authentication gaps closed, CORS corrected, rate limiting added, dependencies updated. Your users must be protected before we improve anything else.
Productionise First, Then Build Features
We enforce a strict sequence: productionise the existing codebase completely, then begin feature development on the clean, tested, production-ready foundation. Mixing productionisation with new feature development is the fastest way to inflate timelines and accumulate new technical debt.
Free 48-Hour Written Audit, No Obligation
Share your repository and we deliver a written security and architectural audit within 48 hours at no charge. Severity-rated findings, specific file and line references, recommended approach and a fixed-price quote. You decide whether to proceed, the audit is yours to keep regardless.
Every Major Vibe Coding Tool, Covered
We productionise applications generated by any AI coding assistant. Each tool produces different patterns and has different typical failure modes, we assess the relevant patterns in the actual codebase.
Cursor
AI Code Editor · GPT-4o / ClaudeContext: Full codebase awareness in VS Code fork
Common risk: High quality generation but still requires security review and tests
Claude Code
Terminal Agent · Claude 3.5/3.7 SonnetContext: Agentic coding in your terminal
Common risk: Strong reasoning; still produces untested code without security-first mindset
GitHub Copilot
IDE Extension · GPT-4o / ClaudeContext: Multi-file edit, inline suggestions
Common risk: Common source of insecure autocompleted patterns in auth and data handling
Bolt.new
Browser AI Builder · ClaudeContext: Full-stack in browser, StackBlitz runtime
Common risk: Produces functional prototypes; not production-ready without security audit
Lovable
AI App Builder · ClaudeContext: Describe app, receive full-stack
Common risk: Excellent for prototyping; architecture not designed for long-term team maintenance
Replit Agent
Cloud AI Builder · Various LLMsContext: Full-stack on Replit cloud platform
Common risk: Works well as prototype; hosting suitability depends on workload and configuration
Vibe Coding Productionisation Services
Everything required to turn a vibe-coded prototype into a production application your team can safely maintain and extend for years.
Vibe-Coded App Security Audit
Systematic security review of any AI-generated codebase regardless of which tool produced it. We scan for exposed secrets in source files and git history, SQL injection and NoSQL injection vulnerabilities, missing authentication on sensitive routes, CORS misconfiguration, missing rate limiting on authentication endpoints, insecure session management and dependency CVEs. Written report with severity ratings, specific file and line references, and a fixed-price remediation quote delivered within 48 hours.
Architecture Refactoring for Production
Restructure AI-generated code from a functional prototype into a maintainable production architecture. Business logic extracted from API route handlers into a proper service layer. Repository pattern for database access. Dependency injection where appropriate. TypeScript strict mode applied throughout with shared interfaces between frontend and backend. Proper error handling, structured logging and environment configuration management on startup.
TypeScript Conversion, Strict Mode
Convert JavaScript vibe-coded codebases to TypeScript with strict mode enabled, helping identify type errors during development; runtime validation and testing remain necessary. Shared type definitions for API contracts between frontend and backend. Zod schema validation at API boundaries. TypeScript-aware ESLint configuration. No any types, every type must be explicit or demonstrably inferred.
Test Suite, Unit, Integration & E2E
Add comprehensive test coverage to an untested vibe-coded application. Unit tests for all service layer functions with mocked dependencies, testing business logic in isolation. Integration tests for all API endpoints against a test database with real transactions rolled back after each test. End-to-end browser tests for critical user journeys using Playwright. GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline runs all tests on every pull request, no code merges to main without green tests.
Production Infrastructure Migration
Migrate from prototype hosting to production infrastructure in your own cloud accounts, never on CV Infotech infrastructure. Vercel for Next.js or React frontends. Railway for Node.js or Python backends. AWS EC2, ECS or App Runner for enterprise requirements. Database migration from prototype SQLite or shared databases to managed PostgreSQL (Supabase, PlanetScale, AWS RDS) or MongoDB Atlas. Custom domain, SSL, CDN, monitoring with Sentry and Datadog, uptime alerting and automated daily backups.
Ongoing Engineering, Retainer or Sprint
After productionisation, CV Infotech continues as your engineering team. Monthly retainer or sprint-based. New features built to production standards. Code review for AI-assisted additions from your team using Cursor or GitHub Copilot, allowing your team to maintain the velocity of AI-assisted development with the safety of professional engineering oversight. The scope and review process determine how AI-assisted changes are tested and accepted.
From Vibe-Coded Prototype to Production, Step by Step
Security first. Always. Then architecture, TypeScript, tests and infrastructure. The sequence depends on the agreed risks and scope.
Free 48-Hour Codebase Audit
Free · 48 HoursShare your repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or a zip export). Within 48 hours, we deliver: a written security audit recording observed findings by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low); an architectural assessment noting the most significant maintainability and scalability issues; a recommended productionisation approach; and a fixed-price quote with a week-by-week timeline. Free, no obligation. If you decide not to proceed, keep the audit, it is useful regardless.
Security Hardening, Critical Issues First
Week 1Security fixes are always week 1, always the first priority. We rotate all exposed credentials and ensure they are stored in environment variables and never committed to version control again. Parameterise all database queries. Add authentication middleware to all protected routes. Fix CORS configuration. Implement rate limiting on authentication endpoints. Update all dependencies with known CVEs. Availability and maintenance requirements are agreed for the affected changes.
Architecture Refactoring & TypeScript
Weeks 2–4Restructure the codebase with proper separation of concerns, route handlers, service layer, repository layer. TypeScript strict mode added throughout. Shared type interfaces between frontend and backend defined in a shared package or monorepo structure. Zod validation at API entry points. Environment configuration validated on application startup rather than silently missing at runtime. Structured logging with Winston or Pino replacing console.log calls.
Test Suite & GitHub Actions CI/CD
Weeks 2–5 (parallel)Tests written alongside the architectural refactoring, not as an afterthought. Unit tests for every service function with mocked repositories. Integration tests for every API endpoint using a test database. Playwright end-to-end tests for the 5–10 most critical user journeys. GitHub Actions workflow: lint, type-check, unit tests, integration tests, e2e tests, deployment. Branch protection on main requires all checks to pass before merge.
Production Infrastructure Migration
Weeks 4–6Provision production infrastructure in your cloud accounts. Database migration with a migration and recovery plan appropriate to the database and availability requirements. Environment variables migrated to cloud secrets manager. Monitoring configured with Sentry for error tracking and Datadog or CloudWatch for infrastructure metrics. Uptime alerting via PagerDuty or plain email. Automated database backups tested with a restore drill before DNS cutover.
Documentation, Handover & Ongoing Support
30 days post-launchFull source code in your GitHub organisation under your chosen licence. Architecture decision records (ADRs) documenting every significant design choice. API reference generated from OpenAPI/Swagger annotations. Deployment runbook tested by a team member who was not involved in the productionisation. 30-day post-launch monitoring with bug fixes included. Options for ongoing monthly retainer, quarterly security reviews or full handover to your internal team.
