Taking over your vibe coding project and making it production-ready

Vibe coding means creating software mainly by describing it in natural language: tools such as Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude Code generate the code from prompts, without anyone reading or designing every line. That delivers a clickable prototype within hours and is a legitimate, useful first step. wunderwerk uses AI-assisted development itself; the difference from a prototype lies in the architecture, tests, security and operations that have to follow.

Usually not yet, and that’s normal. Production-ready means: access rights are deliberately designed, data lives in a sound model with backups, and there are automated tests, separate environments, monitoring and someone who is responsible. AI builders optimise for the first working version, not for these points. In a technical analysis, wunderwerk assesses how far your prototype is from that and what the shortest route there is.

Yes, after a paid technical analysis. wunderwerk reviews code, architecture, security, data model, tests, operations, dependencies and the rights to the source code, and then recommends whether continuing, stabilising or rebuilding the core is more economical. After that we take over as your technology partner: stabilisation, go-live, further development and operation. This applies to projects from Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code and similar tools.

The starting point is a fixed-price technical analysis that takes one to two weeks, depending on the size of the project. What is needed after that depends on the findings: stabilisation with access rights, tests and deployment is usually done in a few weeks, while rebuilding the core is a project of its own. wunderwerk gives you a transparent cost framework before every step, and you decide after every step whether to carry on. You can get a first assessment via the form or in an initial consultation.

Because a serious look at code, database, hosting and dependencies takes days and produces a written report that has value in its own right: findings, priorities, a cost framework and a recommendation that still holds if you continue with someone else afterwards. A free quick check would deliver exactly what you already have: an opinion without a basis. That is why wunderwerk does not give an effort estimate without having seen the project.

The analysis decides, not gut feeling. Continue if the architecture and data model hold up and what is mainly missing is tests, permissions and operations. Modernise step by step if the core is good but individual parts need replacing. Rebuild if every change costs more than it brings or the code cannot be understood. Even then your prototype isn’t lost: wunderwerk uses it as a specification that is more precise than any requirements document, and carries over data and workflows.

The most common findings are missing access rules in the database, so that every logged-in user can read or change all data; API keys and secrets in the frontend or the repository; unchecked input; open endpoints without authentication; and dependencies with known vulnerabilities. On top of that come missing backups and deployment without separate environments. During stabilisation, wunderwerk fixes exactly these points first, before real users start using the application.

wunderwerk takes over projects from Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf and comparable tools. Technically, that usually means TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node and Postgres or Supabase, exactly the stack we have been using for years to build software for companies. We also work with PHP/Laravel and React Native. We don’t maintain projects whose core is in .NET long term, but we are happy to review them and recommend a suitable partner.

The technical analysis takes one to two weeks. Depending on scope, wunderwerk can often stabilise the critical points, i.e. access rights, secrets, backups, deployment and tests for the core, in two to six weeks. Rebuilding the core is a project of its own with a prototype as the starting point, usually taking a few months. Your existing prototype stays usable throughout.

You do. wunderwerk works in your repository and on your hosting accounts, and documents the software so that you stay independent. Before the takeover we clarify together which rights exist to the existing code and to the libraries it uses, because many prototype owners don’t know this exactly themselves. Licensing questions come up in the analysis, not with your first enterprise customer.

Yes, and that often makes sense, because you know your field best. wunderwerk sets up guardrails for it: separate branches, automated tests, review before deployment and clear rules about who changes which parts of the application. That way you keep the speed of the AI tools without the software becoming disposable again.

Yes, if it is set up deliberately. Many prototypes integrate US services without a data processing agreement or store personal data without a deletion concept. In the analysis, wunderwerk checks which services are integrated and sets up hosting in the EU, on-premise or in a private cloud if you prefer. As a team from Austria, EU & GDPR first is the norm for us.

As a rule, no. wunderwerk works with companies that have an established business and with funded start-ups with their first users, because software that lasts is an investment that only pays off then. If there is no company behind your prototype yet, we’ll tell you openly in the initial consultation which next steps are more affordable.

Yes, digitalisation and software projects in Austria, Germany and Switzerland are funded through various programmes, depending on country, region, company size and project. wunderwerk carries out an initial funding check with you and shows which options are available for your project. The easiest way is in a free initial consultation.
