Prototype rescue
Good idea.
Rough landing?
The demo worked. Then real users arrived. Let's get it back on its feet.

Inside the fix
Under the hood.
Nothing skipped.
01Auth
Real sessions, not a client-side flag. Password reset that can't be used to take over an account.
02Secrets
Nothing in the client bundle, nothing in the repo history, nothing in a public bucket.
03Error states
What the user sees when the network drops, the API 500s, or the payment fails mid-flow.
04Rate limits
What stops one script from taking down the app, or running up the AI bill.
05Data integrity
Idempotency on writes, constraints that actually constrain, backups that have been restored at least once.
06Observability
Whether anyone finds out before the customer does.
07Behaviour at 100× volume
What breaks first when ten users becomes a thousand, and whether it fails loud or fails quiet.
For AI builds — the five-item set
Evals
The line between a demo and a product.
Prompt versioning
What happens to behaviour when a prompt changes.
Human handoff
The escalation path when the model shouldn't answer.
Cost at volume
Modelled at real traffic, not demo traffic.
Grounding & containment
What it does when it's wrong in front of a customer.
A real rescue
Keep the idea.
Fix the foundations.
A promising booking product where real users exposed breaking issues. We stabilised the core, improved reliability and shipped a production-ready experience — without losing what made it special.
