Ask HN: Are people shipping their AI "vibe-coded" apps to production?

1 points by infiniumtek 6 hours ago

I’ve noticed a pattern with a lot of AI-assisted projects lately.

People can build surprisingly capable apps using tools like Cursor, Replit, Loveable, etc... but many of those projects never actually make it to a real production launch.

The apps work locally or in a demo environment, but the “last mile” tends to be where things stall:

• infrastructure and hosting • SSL and domain setup • environment variables and secrets • CI/CD pipelines • scaling and monitoring • security concerns

I’ve spent most of my career working in software engineering and DevOps, and recently started helping indie builders and small startups solve this exact problem, getting their AI-generated apps shipped to production.

I put together a page describing the typical deployment path and the kind of help I’ve been providing: https://infiniumtek.com/vibes/

I’m curious what others here are seeing.

For those building AI tools or AI-assisted products:

Where does the launch process usually break down for you?

Is it infrastructure, deployment complexity, security concerns, or something else?

I would love for someone to review my project, and help me push my code to production.

    Happy to take a look.

    If you’re comfortable sharing, feel free to post the repo or describe the stack you’re using (framework, hosting, databases, etc.). Sometimes a quick architecture review can reveal the easiest path to production.

    If you’d rather chat privately, you can DM me or reach out through the contact form here: https://infiniumtek.com/vibes/

    Either way I’m happy to help point you in the right direction.
