How to deploy vibe coding projects to production

A step-by-step production deployment checklist for apps built with AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt, or Lovable. Covers 11 ordered steps: moving code to a real Git repo, choosing a production host, removing hard-coded secrets and rotating compromised keys, locking down database and file permissions, configuring auth properly, adding a custom domain with SSL, enabling server-side logs, confirming backups and rollback paths, reviewing AI-generated server-side functions for security issues, running a pre-launch review, and safely scoping API keys when keeping an AI agent connected to production. Appwrite is used as the primary backend/hosting example throughout.
