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?
