Is your AI-built app ready for production?
Short answer
Not until someone has checked secrets, authentication, database access rules, backups, monitoring, and personal-data handling. AI app builders get you to a working demo fast. The gaps sit in what a demo never exercises: hostile users, real volumes, failed payments, and lost data.
The usual gaps
- Secrets in code or in git history, including API keys shipped to the browser.
- Database access rules missing or too broad, such as row-level security turned off, so one user can read another user's data.
- Authentication edge cases: password reset, session expiry, email verification, and unprotected admin routes.
- No input validation, which leaves room for injection and broken records.
- No backups, no tested restore, and schema changes made by hand instead of migrations.
- No error tracking or uptime monitoring, so users find outages first.
- Unbounded calls to paid APIs, including AI models, with no per-user limits.
- Personal data without the basics GDPR expects: a privacy policy, a lawful basis, processor agreements, and cookie consent where needed.
Before-launch checklist
- Rotate every key that was ever committed, and move secrets to the platform's secret store.
- Turn on and test database access rules with two test accounts.
- Add rate limits and spending caps on paid APIs.
- Set up automated backups and do one restore.
- Add error tracking, uptime checks, and alerts that reach a person.
- Write down where personal data lives and who processes it.
Fix or rebuild?
Most AI-built apps can be fixed in place: the structure is usually fine and the gaps are in security, data, and operations. A rebuild is worth it when the data model is wrong for the business, or when nobody can change the code without breaking something else. A review tells you which case you are in before you spend money.
How DailyMind helps
A fixed-scope review of your app and its infrastructure, a ranked list of what to fix first, and hands-on fixes with your team. We work with PostgreSQL and Supabase stacks, Cloudflare, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to rewrite the app?
Usually not. Most gaps are configuration, access rules, and missing operations, all of which can be fixed in place. We say so plainly if a rebuild is cheaper.
How long does a review take?
It depends on the size of the app and its integrations. We scope it after a first call and give a fixed price before starting.
Can we keep building with AI tools afterwards?
Yes. We add the checks, such as tests, access-rule tests, and secret scanning, so new AI-generated changes are caught before they ship.
