Ask HN: Are people shipping their AI "vibe-coded" apps to production?

AI

Description

I’ve noticed a pattern with a lot of AI-assisted projects lately. People can build surprisingly capable apps using tools like Cursor, Replit, Loveable, etc... but many of those projects never actually make it to a real production launch. The apps work locally or in a demo environment, but the “last mile” tends to be where things stall: • infrastructure and hosting • SSL and domain setup • environment variables and secrets • CI/CD pipelines • scaling and monitoring • security concerns
