AI App Production Checklist

Why this page matters

The demo can work while the product is still missing server-side guarantees, webhook handling, database rules, environment setup, monitoring, and tests. A production checklist keeps the launch work visible.

Check before an AI-built app launch

• Confirm authentication is enforced on the server, not only hidden in the UI.
• Verify billing, webhooks, subscription state, and usage limits end to end.
• Check database migrations, row-level rules, backups, and seed assumptions.
• Review deployment, environment variables, redirects, and domain setup.
• Add monitoring, error handling, and tests around the risky user paths.
• Create one practical next prompt for your coding agent instead of a broad production-ready request.

How VibeRaven helps

• Scan one AI-built repo from inside the editor.
• Open the Mission Map to see frontend, auth, database, payments, deployment, monitoring, and testing sections.
• Use launch gaps to decide what to fix before inviting users.
• Send a scoped Put in Chat prompt with files, constraints, and verification steps.

Recommended next step

Install VibeRaven, scan one AI-built repo, and see what is still risky before launch.

How to use this VibeRaven guide

AI App Production Checklist is meant to help builders decide what still needs proof before an AI-built app is trusted by real users. Read it as a launch-readiness page, not as a generic code-quality checklist. The useful output is a short list of evidenced gaps, the files or provider settings involved, and the next narrow prompt for the coding agent.

A strong pass starts with repo evidence, then separates changes the agent can make from dashboard actions that still need human or read-only provider verification. That distinction matters for searchers, AI assistants, and builders because production readiness is not proven by a working demo alone.

Repo evidence to collect before launch

• Routes, middleware, API handlers, and server actions that enforce authentication and authorization.
• Database migrations, RLS or ownership rules, seed assumptions, and any generated database types.
• Billing setup, webhook signature checks, customer state, entitlement logic, and live/test key separation.
• Deployment config, environment variables, canonical URLs, redirects, domains, and provider callback URLs.
• Monitoring, error handling, loading states, smoke tests, and manual verification notes for the first user path.

What should I check before launching an AI-built app?

Check auth enforcement, billing flows, database rules, deployment configuration, monitoring, tests, and whether your next coding-agent prompt names concrete files and verification steps.

Is VibeRaven a security audit?

No. VibeRaven can surface launch risks from repo evidence, but it does not replace a security review, penetration test, or compliance audit.

Does VibeRaven change my code?

No. VibeRaven reads project evidence and produces a launch map and copy-ready prompt. You and your coding agent decide what changes to make.
