From Demo to Production
Everyone’s Vibing Code, But Who’s Shipping Production?
It seems like everyone’s a product person these days.
Designers are building interactive journeys in Lovable.
Marketers are dragging and dropping components in V0.
Founders are spinning up beautiful demos in Bolt.
The no-code, low-code, and AI-native movement has democratized product creation. Anyone can build a prototype. And honestly, that’s great. Really, it is.
But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
Prototypes don’t pay the bills. Production does.
While the world vibes with clickable demos and AI-generated layouts, the gap between a prototype and a real, production-grade application has never been wider.
And that gap is costing companies time, trust, and money.
The Prototype Trap
Gartner says 70% of new apps will be built with no-code/low-code by the end of this year.
Lovable, V0, Bolt, and others have skyrocketed to millions in ARR in just months.
Startups are building faster than ever—but most stall when it’s time to go live.
That’s because while prototypes are easy, production is hard. Here’s why:
Security & Compliance: GDPR, SOC2, ISO—you can’t ship without them.
Data Architecture: Real user data needs real engineering, not just mockups.
Scalability & Performance: What works for 10 users might crash with 10,000.
CI/CD & Automated Testing: Because broken features in production cost more than broken ideas in a prototype.
The result? Countless teams hit a wall between "looks good" and "works at scale."
Why We Exist
We’ve seen this story too many times:
Teams celebrate launching a prototype, only to realize it’s not even close to production-ready.
Founders show off clickable demos, but fail to launch a real product.
Startups raise capital, but can’t turn their idea into revenue.
We started production.dev to change that.
We help companies cross the gap:
Already have a prototype? We turn it into a live, secure, scalable product in 10 weeks or less.
No prototype yet? We help you build one right, using AI-native tools with a clear path to production.
We are your trusted product advisors. We don’t just build—we guide, optimize, secure, and ship.
Why It Matters
Speed wins markets. But speed without quality is a trap.
17% of failed startups say "the product wasn’t good enough."
6% fail due to tech execution problems—security, scaling, or stability.
Startups that ship fast and ship well are the ones raising the next round, growing users, and staying alive.
You don’t win by vibing prototypes. You win by shipping production.
That’s why production.dev exists.
We help you ship what lasts. Faster. Smarter. Safer.
Coming Up Next
In our next issue, we’ll break down:
The hidden costs of skipping data architecture.
Why “just shipping features” is not a growth strategy.
How to future-proof your production stack from day one.
