Sleepy infrastructure
The app cold-starts, slows under load, or shares resources with the dev environment. Fine for a demo, painful the day a customer hits it.
Vibe coding rescue · Replit
Take your Replit app to production.
Replit Agent will happily build your whole product and run it in the same place you wrote it. The stall comes when real users arrive: performance, security, background jobs, and the question of whether your business should live on a development platform at all.
Businesses we’ve worked with
The Replit wall
Replit is a genuinely good place to build and a hard place to run a serious product. Apps sleep, cold starts bite, the database options are limited, and secrets management is only as careful as the prompts were. Some products should stay on Replit deployments; many need to move to dedicated infrastructure. The audit tells you which one you are.
We take the code out of the workspace into a proper repo, keep what the Agent got right, fix the data layer and auth, and either productionise the Replit deployment or migrate to infrastructure that fits: usually a managed Postgres, a real host, and a CI pipeline.
What we fix in Replit apps.
Loose secrets
Keys in code, in prompts, or in env files that got committed. We inventory every secret, move them to proper management, and rotate the exposed ones.
Agent spaghetti
Replit Agent iterates fast and leaves layers of half-replaced logic behind. We flatten it into one coherent codebase your next developer can read.

How a rescue works.
Fixed price, milestone payments, and a written audit before you commit to anything.
Audit, 48 hours
Send repo or tool access. You get a plain-language report of what is solid, what is dangerous, what is unfinished, and a fixed price for the rest.
Fix and harden
Security first: auth, data access, secrets, rate limits, payments. The invisible work that keeps your launch out of the news for the wrong reason.
Finish and launch
The stalled features get built, the deploy pipeline gets set up, and the app goes live on your domain with monitoring, alerts, and daily backups.
Stay if you want
Every rescue includes 30 days of fixes. Many founders keep us on afterwards for the roadmap, through Resident™, our monthly retainer.

Replit questions
Should my app stay on Replit or move?
It depends on load, data sensitivity, and budget, and it is one of the first questions the audit answers. Light internal tools often stay on Replit deployments happily. Customer-facing products with payments or personal data usually justify moving to dedicated infrastructure, which we handle end to end.
Can you work with Replit Agent’s code?
Yes. It is ordinary code underneath, just often layered from many fast iterations. We audit it like any codebase: keep what works, restructure what drifted, rebuild what is unsafe.
What does the migration involve?
Repo export, database migration to managed Postgres, secrets moved to proper management, a deploy pipeline, and a cutover with no data loss. Users mostly notice the app getting faster.
