You vibe-coded it in Cursor. We make it production-ready.
Cursor helped you move fast. But shipping to real users needs architecture, tests, deployment, and someone who has done it before.
What breaks at scale
Architecture that survives real traffic
Vibe-coding optimizes for speed, not structure. When users hit your app concurrently, you need proper error handling, caching, and a backend that doesn't fall over.
Tests and CI/CD
"It works on my machine" doesn't cut it for production. You need automated tests, a build pipeline, and deployments that don't require you to SSH into a server.
Deployment, monitoring, the boring stuff that matters
DNS, SSL, environment variables, log aggregation, uptime alerts. The unglamorous infrastructure that keeps your app running at 3 AM.
How we work
Scope call
30-minute call. We understand what you have, what you need, and whether we are the right fit.
Spec and plan
We write a clear spec: what gets built, how long it takes, and what it costs. No surprises.
Build
We build it. You see progress daily. Working software, not slide decks.
Ship
Deployed, tested, monitored. Handed over with documentation and source code you own.
Before and after
What you have
- App that runs on localhost
- No tests, manual QA by refreshing the browser
- Deployed by running a script you half-remember
- Errors discovered when users complain
- Architecture that grew organically (read: randomly)
What we deliver
- App running on your domain with HTTPS
- Test suite, CI pipeline, automated deployments
- Infrastructure as code, reproducible environments
- Error tracking, uptime monitoring, log aggregation
- Clean architecture you can hand off to any developer
The complete guide
What to do after building with Cursor
Cursor is the most powerful AI coding tool available right now. It sits in your editor, understands your codebase, and generates code that actually works with your existing project. For building features fast, prototyping ideas, and getting through the initial development phase, it is unmatched.
But there is a pattern we see repeatedly: someone vibe-codes an entire app in Cursor over a weekend, it works on their machine, and then they try to ship it. That is where things get complicated. The gap between "it runs locally" and "it runs reliably for paying customers" is wider than most people expect.
The vibe-coding ceiling
Vibe-coding (describing what you want and letting the AI build it) is incredibly productive for the first 80% of a project. The last 20%, the part that makes software production-ready, is where it breaks down. Error handling, edge cases, security, deployment pipelines, monitoring. These are not features you can describe in a prompt. They require systematic engineering.
The most common pattern: you have an app that works perfectly when one person uses it on localhost. Then real users arrive. They do things you did not expect. They use old browsers. They submit forms twice. They have slow connections. The app starts breaking in ways that are hard to reproduce and harder to fix.
What is reusable vs. what needs work
Cursor produces real code in your editor, not a separate generated output. This means there is usually more to keep than with other AI tools. Frontend components, routing logic, and business rules are often solid. What typically needs work: the overall architecture (how modules connect), error handling (what happens when things go wrong), testing (confidence that deployments work), and the deployment pipeline itself.
The cleanup process
We start with an audit of your existing codebase. What is the architecture? Where are the security gaps? What has tests and what does not? This audit produces a prioritized report: what must be fixed before launch, what should be improved soon, and what can wait.
From there, we write a spec that covers the production requirements (deployment, monitoring, security, performance) and build against it. The goal is not to rewrite everything. The goal is to get your existing code to production-grade with minimal changes and maximum impact.
Timeline and cost expectations
Cursor cleanup projects typically take 1 to 3 weeks and cost between 20,000 and 70,000 SEK. The biggest factors: how many features the app has, whether it needs a backend rewrite or just cleanup, and how many third-party integrations are involved.
We work on fixed-price quotes after a scope call. You know the exact cost before we write a single line of code.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to clean up a Cursor project?
Most Cursor cleanup projects cost between 20,000 and 70,000 SEK. Simpler apps (CRUD with basic auth) are on the lower end. Projects with complex state management, multiple integrations, or real-time features cost more. You get a fixed-price quote after a 30-minute scope call. No hourly billing.
Can I keep my existing code?
Often, yes, partially. Cursor produces real code in your editor, so there is usually more salvageable material than with other AI tools. We assess what is solid (often UI components and business logic) and what needs rebuilding (usually architecture, error handling, and the deployment layer). The goal is to keep as much as possible while making the whole thing production-grade.
How long does it take?
1 to 3 weeks for most projects. A straightforward app with a clean frontend and messy backend can ship in a week. Projects that need architectural rework, test suites, and CI/CD pipelines take 2 to 3 weeks. We show working progress daily.
What's usually wrong with vibe-coded projects?
The most common issues: no error handling beyond the happy path, no tests, inconsistent architecture (each feature built differently), hardcoded configuration, no deployment pipeline, and security gaps (exposed API keys, missing input validation, no rate limiting). The code works locally but is not ready for real users.
Do I need tests?
For production, yes. Tests are not about catching every bug. They are about confidence: can you deploy on a Friday without breaking things? We write tests for critical paths (auth, payments, core business logic) and set up a CI pipeline that runs them automatically on every push. You do not need 100% coverage, but you need coverage where it counts.
Not sure where your project stands?
Start with a Code Audit. We review your Cursor project, identify architecture gaps and security issues, and give you a prioritized report. 5,000 SEK, 48-hour turnaround.
