Vibe coding rescue services, tool by tool
A vibe coding rescue takes an app built mostly by an AI tool, in Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, Replit, v0, Windsurf or GitHub Copilot, or from code pasted out of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek or Mistral, and assesses, hardens and remediates it so it can run in production and still be changed. If an AI tool built most of your app and it's now insecure, unstable, or stuck, senior engineers can fix it without a rewrite. We diagnose the specific tool that built your app, close the security holes first, then stabilize, finish, or take it over. A rewrite is a last resort, recommended only when the foundation cannot be made safe, and you are told why before you spend anything on it. Rapid Diagnostics start at $1,500, credited toward the full audit if you go ahead.
What tool actually built your app?
Pick the tool that generated most of your codebase. Each page below covers that tool's real, specific failure patterns and how we fix them.
Lovable
Row-level security that is off or too broad, exposed keys, and a 2026 incident in which, per Lovable's own report, public projects' source and chat could potentially be read by any Lovable user who had a project link.
Unbuildable diffs · tech debtCursor
Large AI-generated diffs that don't compile, and technical debt that piles up faster than anyone reviews it.
Agent reliability · prod crashesReplit
Agent runs that break production, including the widely-reported incident where an agent deleted a live database against explicit freeze instructions.
Preview to productionBolt.new
Apps that worked in the Bolt preview and now need database rules, auth and deploy settings checked before real users arrive.
Frontend only · no backendv0
Beautiful UI scaffolding with no real auth, database, or backend logic wired in yet.
Untested code in prodWindsurf
An AI pair programmer that ships fast, but leaves untested edge cases and bugs sitting in production.
What does a vibe coding rescue cover?
Each of these comes from how an app's auth, data and deploys are wired rather than from one particular tool, so the same checks apply whichever tool wrote the code. Each card links to a guide you can use on your own app first.
Data anyone can read
Tables served to anyone holding the public key, because row-level security is off or a policy lets every request through.
Secret keys in the browser
Stripe, Supabase service-role or model API keys shipped in front-end code, where anyone can copy them.
Users reading each other's data
Endpoints that trust an ID sent by the browser instead of checking the signed-in user.
Data that disappears on deploy
Data written to a filesystem that every redeploy replaces, instead of a managed database.
Works in the demo, fails in production
The gap between a demo and a live product: secrets, auth, error handling, backups and monitoring.
Slows down under real users
Missing indexes and query patterns that only show up once real traffic arrives.
What a vibe coding rescue costs
Engagements start with the $1,500 Rapid Diagnostic, then move to the diagnostic audit, rescue and harden, a rebuild and takeover, or ongoing engineering as needed. See the vibe coding rescue process, step by step, and full pricing.
Automated scan and a written report, delivered async, in days. Credited toward the full audit.
Fixed fee. A security scorecard, an architecture review and a prioritized findings list.
A wide band, scope dependent. Critical and high findings remediated, auth, secrets and data integrity fixed, test coverage on critical paths, and a documented handoff.
Data model and infrastructure rebuild, a full engineering takeover, and diligence-ready documentation. Priced after scoping.
