SYSTEM STATUS: DEGRADED — PROTOTYPE IN PRODUCTION

It works on the preview URL. It won't survive production.

You vibe-coded the idea, proved people want it, maybe took real money. Then you hit the wall — the security holes, the missing tests, the architecture that buckles under real traffic. Scaletested takes AI-built prototypes and makes them production-grade. Scale-tested to hold when the real traffic shows up.

// the inspection

The 12-point production audit

AI tools optimize for code that works, not code that survives. These are the twelve checks they skip — and the first things we run when we open the hood.

SYSTEM CHECKS 4 / 12 PASSING
FAILAuthentication done right — not hardcoded
FAILRole-based access & authorization
FAILSecrets & API keys out of the frontend
FAILInput validation & sanitization
FAILRate limiting & abuse controls
FAILError handling that fails safe
FAILReal test coverage — not just happy path
FAILDatabase indexes & query performance
FAILLogging & observability
FAILCI/CD & safe, repeatable deploys
FAILBackups & recovery
FAILLoad tested for real traffic

Rule of thumb: 10 of 12 passing before you point paid traffic at it. Three or fewer and it's still a prototype — no matter how finished it looks. See the full breakdown →

// how it works

Three steps from prototype to production

You don't start over. You already did the expensive part — validating the idea. We make what you built hold up.

01 — Review

We open the hood

A senior read of your architecture, data model, and security. What's solid, what's reusable, what has to be replaced — with a clear picture of the gap and the cost to close it.

02 — Harden

Fix what breaks under load

Auth, access control, input validation, tests, performance, deploy safety. A focused sprint on the things that turn a demo into software you can trust with real users.

03 — Ship

Deployed, documented, yours

Production-grade and handed off clean — so you can run it, grow it, or hand it to your own team without inheriting a black box.

// who's behind scaletested

Not our first production system.

Scaletested is built by the team behind NS804 — a mobile app studio that has shipped software for real businesses since 2012, from Luck Stone and Dominion Energy to Groome Transportation. Taking rough builds to production, safely, is the work we've been doing for over a decade. Scaletested just points that discipline at what AI tools leave behind.
