Vibe-Coded MVP Operations: Seven Checks After Deployment
A post-deployment checklist for authentication, data, errors, notifications, cost, and recovery before a rapidly built MVP becomes a real service.
Enforce authorization on the server, not only in the UI
Hiding a button or URL is not authorization. Every read and mutation API must verify the signed-in user, ownership, and role; administrative actions need an audit trail. Never ship secrets in source or browser bundles.
Make data changes and failures traceable
Confirm database and external work before showing success. Log request ID, actor, target, result, and a safe error code while excluding passwords and tokens. Retries must be idempotent.
Make monitoring, backups, and cost limits release gates
Alert on error rate, response time, queue delay, disk, and external API spend. A tested restore matters more than the existence of a backup; document rollback and the responsible contact.
Start with OfficialMail
Start operating with one official primary mailbox.
Use one primary mailbox as your company's official address and review every domain-connection value directly in the mailbox.
