Afterprod
For founders building with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and Replit

Your AI-built app, production‑ready.

We find and fix the security holes, scaling limits and runaway cloud costs that AI coding tools leave behind. Fixed prices, plain-English reports, and no rewrite.

What our reviews find most often

AI tools ship features fast. They also ship the same six problems.

None of these show up in a demo. They show up when a customer asks about security, when traffic spikes, or when the bill arrives.

Wiz Research found about 1 in 5 organisations building on vibe-coding platforms had exposures like these. Read the study

Data exposure

Anyone can read your database

Tables that should be private answer to anyone with your public URL. One curious visitor can download every customer record.

The fix: row-level security on every table, locked-down storage, and a test that fails if it ever opens again.

Leaked secrets

Your API keys are in the browser

Payment, email and AI keys sit in front-end code, ready to copy.

The fix: keys move server-side behind a small proxy.

Broken access

Logins only protect the screen

Buttons are hidden from the wrong users, but the server still answers.

The fix: permission checks on the server for every route.

Scaling

It slows down under real traffic

Fine at 50 users. Painful at 5,000.

The fix: indexes, caching, queues and alerts.

Cost

The bill grows faster than revenue

The same result often costs a fraction.

The fix: caching, model routing, right-sizing.

Code health

Every new prompt breaks something

The AI quietly undoes old fixes, so shipping a feature means re-testing everything by hand.

The fix: tests on the paths that matter, and CI checks that stop risky AI changes before they reach users.

Free instant check

See your app's outer-layer exposure in about 20 seconds.

Enter your own app and we run a quick, non-intrusive look at what any visitor can already see from the outside: encryption, headers, public data signals and config hygiene. You get a readiness score and where the weak spots are. The specifics and how to fix them come with your free review.

No login, and we never touch your data or your users' data. Only what's publicly visible. Nothing is stored or exploited. Run it on apps you own or have permission to check.

Why founders choose this

Most rescues start with a rewrite. Ours start with your app as it is.

Typical agency rescue

About us

Senior engineers for the part AI tools skip.

Afterprod is a backend, cloud and MLOps engineering practice. Our engineers have built and run [APIs, data pipelines and ML platforms at companies such as A and B], so we know what breaks when real users and real money arrive.

We love that AI tools let founders ship in a weekend. Our job is to make what they ship safe, fast and affordable, while you keep your stack, your tools and your momentum.

Plain English. Every finding is explained by risk and cost. The jargon stays in the appendix.
No rewrites. We fix what matters and leave the app in your hands.

FAQ

Questions founders ask first.

Something else? Email [email protected]

Do I need to rebuild my app?

No. Most founders want to keep using Lovable, Bolt or Cursor, and that's fine. We fix the parts that matter and add guardrails so the AI doesn't undo them.

I'm not technical. Will I understand the report?

Yes. Each finding says what could go wrong in plain English, how serious it is, and what it costs to fix. The technical detail sits underneath for whoever does the work.

What access do you need?

Nothing for the free review. For the audit, read-only access to your repository and hosting dashboards. I never need your users' data.

Can you do the fixes as well?

Yes. That's the fix sprint. If you book one within 30 days of the audit, the audit fee is credited in full.

What if my app isn't built with an AI tool?

That's fine. The same review works for any early-stage SaaS on a modern stack such as Node, Python, Postgres, Supabase, Firebase, AWS or GCP.
