This creates serious problems for production use: no custom observability, no integration with your CI/testing pipelines, compliance and audit failures, and infrastructure drift. The concept of Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) — already familiar from SaaS procurement — is now arriving at AI code generation. A comparison of major platforms shows a spectrum from tightly coupled hosting to cloud-agnostic artifacts. The recommendation is to evaluate tools based on where the app is actually going: managed hosting is fine for prototypes, but production apps with real users, regulated data, or long lifespans need portability, observability, and compliance controls before you start generating, not after. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
