How to Deploy a v0 App (and What to Check Before Real Users Arrive)
v0's Publish button puts your app on Vercel in one click, and for many apps that's the right answer. What you actually have, how GitHub sync changes the workflow, how to host a v0 app somewhere other than Vercel, and the production checks that apply wherever it lives.
How to Deploy a Lovable App to Production
Lovable's Publish button gets your app online in one click. Whether that's production-ready depends on your database security, your domain, and what happens when you outgrow the builder. The three deployment paths, and the checks to run before real users arrive.
How to Deploy a Bolt.new App: Bolt Hosting, Netlify, or Your Own Server
Bolt.new can publish your app in one click, to its own hosting or to Netlify. What each option actually gives you, when to export the code and host it yourself, and the checks to run before you share the link with real users.
What Are Database Migrations? A Plain-English Guide
Migrations are how an app's database changes shape over time without losing data. What they are, why AI-built apps get them wrong, how to make a risky change safely, and the rules that stop a schema change from becoming a data-loss incident.
Content Security Policy: A Practical Guide to CSP Headers
A Content Security Policy tells the browser which scripts, styles, and connections your page may use, turning many XSS bugs into blocked requests. The directives that matter, nonce-based strict CSP, Report-Only rollout, Next.js specifics, and mistakes that make CSP useless.
How to Connect a Custom Domain to Your App: DNS Without the Jargon
Your app works at a long platform URL, and you want it at yourname.com. What DNS records actually do, A vs CNAME in plain English, the apex-domain problem, how HTTPS gets issued, and how to fix the usual errors.
Which Database Should an AI-Built App Use?
The AI will happily pick a database for you — sometimes a file on disk that disappears on the next deploy. What the choice actually is, why Postgres is the right default for almost every app, and the mistakes that lose data.
Your App Needs Background Jobs. Here's the Simplest Way to Add Them.
Sending emails, processing uploads, calling slow AI models, and nightly cleanups don't belong in the middle of a web request. What background jobs and scheduled tasks are, the simplest reliable way to add them — often your existing Postgres database — and the mistakes that make jobs fail silently.
How to Add Stripe Payments to an AI-Built App Without Getting Burned
AI tools will happily wire up Stripe in a way that looks finished and lets anyone pay $0.01 for your product. The four rules that make payments safe — server-side prices, verified webhooks, idempotent fulfilment, and a real live-mode test — explained without the jargon.
How to Add Login to an AI-Built App (Without Building It Yourself)
Authentication is the one feature you should never let an AI write from scratch. What 'login' actually involves, the three sensible ways to add it, and the checks that tell you whether the login your AI tool built is protecting anything at all.
You Built an App With AI. Now What?
The AI wrote your app in an afternoon. Getting it online, with a real database, that doesn't leak your API keys, is where most people get stuck. A plain-English guide to what happens after the code exists.
What Is an Autonomous Development Platform?
An Autonomous Development Platform gives AI agents and developers a persistent, managed environment to build in — not just a place to generate code. Here's what separates the category from AI code generators, PaaS, and cloud IDEs.
