Launch checklist for AI-built apps
Before real users arrive, confirm eight things: database access rules, secrets out of the browser, auth on your live domain, live Stripe with verified webhooks, a clean production deploy, logs you can read, working backups, and accurate legal pages.
The checklist
- Data access. RLS on every exposed table, policies per operation, tested as a second user.
- Secrets. No secret keys in the browser bundle or Git history; production secrets set on the host.
- Auth. Production Site URL and Redirect URLs, email confirmation and a real email sender, sessions working on your domain.
- Payments. Stripe live keys, verified webhooks, payment status decided on the server.
- Deploy. Clean production build, SPA rewrites or server routes working, HTTPS only, no mixed content.
- Errors and logs. Know where to read server and function logs; user-facing errors are clear.
- Backups. Database backups enabled and a restore you have tried once.
- Legal basics. Privacy policy and terms that match what the app actually collects.

FAQ
What is the most important pre-launch check?
Data access. If database rules let anyone read user data, nothing else matters yet.
Do I need a security audit before launch?
It is strongly recommended if you store personal data or take payments. The standalone audit is $469; the Launch Path includes one.
Can you do the whole checklist for me?
The Launch Path covers auth and database security, Stripe and deploy within a written scope for $1,195 flat.
