Vibe-coded app production checklist

A demo needs to work once. A production app needs to keep working when real people use it in unexpected ways. Use this checklist before you announce your launch.

Security and data

• Confirm users can only reach their own data.
• Keep production and test data separate.
• Remove real secrets from code, logs and browser files.

Payments

• Test a real purchase from start to finish.
• Test failed payments, refunds and cancellations.
• Handle repeated payment events safely.

Reliability

• Test main pages with realistic amounts of data.
• Set up error alerts and uptime checks.
• Write down how to undo a bad release.

Recovery and handover

• Restore a backup to prove it works.
• Document how a developer can run the app.
• Keep a list of every service, owner and monthly cost.
