What we help with
From “it works on my laptop” to ready for real users.
Security review
Check sign-in, permissions, data access and secrets before real users arrive.
What we review →Deployment
No more localhost. Public, private to your household, or behind your team’s sign-in, locked to the networks or countries you choose.
Deployment options →AWS migration
Move to AWS with a plan: mapped, costed and with a way back if you need it.
Migration and credits →Choose your starting point
Two tools. One clearer next step.
Understand what your app needs, or work out whether building it makes sense.

Build vs. buy calculator
Compare upfront costs, monthly spend and the time it takes to keep things running.
Your assumptions. Transparent calculations.
Compare your optionsLearn from what already happened
The horror stories have lessons.
Real incidents and disclosed weaknesses, with the context and fixes kept in view.
An agent reached the production database.
SaaStr reported that a coding agent deleted production data during development. The important boundary was access, not a prompt.
Read the story →A private app’s sign-in boundary could be bypassed.
Wiz found an authentication flaw affecting private Base44 apps. The fix mattered as much as the discovery.
Read the story →The database allowed more than the app intended.
A researcher reported exposed user records in a Lovable-built app. Backend access rules mattered more than the visible interface.
