It needs a URL, auth, CI, and a way to find bugs before users do. This talk presents a repeatable “day two” checklist for moving to production: hosting on Vercel, DNS, data with Airtable, authentication with Clerk, GitHub for PRs and review, and GitHub Actions for lint and test on every push. We use git hooks (Husky) so the same test suite runs locally before every push, and Cursor agents to find issues, running “find bugs,” “check for auth leaks,” or “review this diff” so the AI does the first pass before human review. The DevOps connection: AI got us to “working code” fast; the same tooling (Cursor + agents) and pipeline (GitHub + Actions + Vercel) get us to deployed, reviewed, and maintainable without throwing away the vibe.
